EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1922 in Feock, Cornwall. The image showcases a remarkable moment as the Bishop of Truro takes control of a magnificent Rover 12 motor car. With registration number AF 4061 proudly displayed on its front grille, this vehicle holds great significance as it was presented to the esteemed bishop by the diocese. The scene unfolds outside Lys Escop, the grand Bishops palace that stands tall in all its architectural glory. As sunlight gently bathes the surroundings, casting long shadows on the ground, one cannot help but be captivated by this historic snapshot frozen in time. The Bishop of Truro sits confidently behind the wheel of this elegant automobile, exuding an air of authority and grace. His presence commands attention and respect as he prepares for his journey ahead. This print not only captures a momentous occasion but also serves as a testament to Cornwall's rich history and traditions. It allows us to glimpse into an era where automobiles were still a novelty and symbolized prestige and progress. As we admire this vintage Rover 12 motor car with its distinguished passenger at its helm, we are reminded of how far we have come while cherishing our past. This photograph is truly a treasure from Royal Cornwall Museum that transports us back in time to experience an extraordinary moment shared between man and machine amidst the picturesque beauty of Feock.
