EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to July 1992 in the picturesque town of Fowey, Cornwall. The focal point of the image is none other than the charismatic Fowey Town Crier himself, proudly donning his traditional attire. With a magnificent tricorn hat perched atop his head and a cloak draped around his shoulders, he exudes an air of authority and grandeur. The vibrant RNLI flag fluttering in the background serves as a reminder of the importance of this coastal community's lifeboat institution. It symbolizes their dedication to saving lives at sea and highlights their ongoing fundraising efforts for this noble cause. Intriguingly, we also catch sight of a sign bearing the name "St Austell Brewery" hinting at another significant aspect of Cornish culture - its renowned brewing tradition. This fusion between local heritage and contemporary industry encapsulates Cornwall's unique charm. Through this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to an era where royal traditions intertwine with national pride. The Fowey Town Crier stands tall as a representative figurehead for both locals and visitors alike, embodying the spirit and character that make Cornwall so special. As we admire this remarkable photograph print from the Royal Cornwall Museum collection, it reminds us not only of our rich cultural history but also prompts reflection on how communities come together to support vital institutions like lifeboats through passionate fundraising endeavors.
