EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back in time to the picturesque Pill Creek in Feock, Cornwall on a sunny day of July 8th, 1912. The lens of esteemed photographer John Charles Burrow captures a momentous occasion as his party gracefully disembarks their vessel at the slipway on the north side of Pill Creek. The star of this nautical scene is undoubtedly "L Oiseau Blesse" an elegant launch that proudly sails into view with its mast towering against the clear blue sky. The boat's name translates to "The Wounded Bird" and one can't help but wonder about its story and significance within this idyllic setting. Cornish charm envelops every inch of this photograph; from the calm waters reflecting the vibrant hues of nature to a solitary tree standing tall onshore, seemingly guarding over these precious moments frozen in time. It serves as a reminder that even amidst progress and change, Mother Nature remains steadfastly present. Photographer Herbert Hughes skillfully immortalizes this enchanting sight for generations to come. Through his lens, he effortlessly captures not just an image but also emotions - feelings of tranquility and awe inspired by both man-made marvels and natural wonders alike. This remarkable print transports us back to an era long gone yet still alive through our admiration for history's beauty.
