EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from June 1909 transports us back in time to the picturesque St Columb Porth, located near St Columb Minor in Cornwall. The image captures a group of photographers gathered on the sandy beach, their presence adding an intriguing element to the scene. Positioned by a narrow cave, believed to be situated near Trevelgue Head or Whipsiderry, these individuals are likely capturing the stunning coastal landscape that stretches before them. The composition exudes a sense of tranquility and awe-inspiring beauty as we witness nature's raw power meeting with human curiosity. The rugged cliffs towering above frame the view perfectly, while waves crash against jagged rocks below. It is easy to imagine oneself standing there alongside these early pioneers of photography, feeling the salty sea breeze on our faces. Photographer John Charles Burrow skillfully captured this moment in time with his lens, freezing it forever for future generations to appreciate. This remarkable snapshot offers us a glimpse into Cornwall's rich history and its enduring allure as a destination for both locals and visitors alike. As we admire this print at Royal Cornwall Museum today, let us reflect upon how much has changed since that summer day over a century ago. Yet despite all progress and development along this beloved coastline, one thing remains constant - its ability to captivate hearts and inspire creativity through its sheer natural beauty.
