EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 1920s, capturing a rare moment of Perranporth during a flood. The image showcases the resilience and resourcefulness of the local community in Perranzabuloe, Cornwall, as they navigate through challenging circumstances. In this snapshot frozen in history, we witness a flooded road that stretches out before us like an endless river. A determined man wades through the water with purpose, his presence emphasizing the scale of this natural disaster. Alongside him stands a horse-drawn cart, its stoic driver undeterred by the rising tides. Amidst this scene of chaos and uncertainty, another figure catches our attention - a man standing atop two chairs. His actions are enigmatic; perhaps he seeks refuge from the encroaching waters or is attempting to survey the extent of damage caused by nature's fury. The photographer behind this remarkable composition is Arthur William Jordan. Through his lens, he captures not only a moment frozen in time but also conveys an underlying message about human perseverance and adaptability when faced with adversity. As we gaze upon this photograph print housed within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, we are transported back to an era where communities relied on their collective strength to overcome challenges posed by Mother Nature herself. This image serves as both a reminder of our vulnerability and an inspiration for resilience in times of crisis – lessons that still resonate today.
