EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1911, we are transported back in time to the picturesque coastal town of St Ives, Cornwall. The image captures a moment frozen in history, as a distinguished man clad in a classic Victorian suit and cap stands before an imposing granite outcrop. Speculated to be none other than the renowned photographer John Charles Burrow himself, he appears deep in thought while examining the rugged beauty of either Trencrom or Zennor. The scene exudes an air of tranquility and serenity, with the crashing waves serving as a soothing soundtrack to this solitary exploration. The rocky landscape dominates the frame, showcasing nature's raw power and resilience against the relentless sea. Each crevice and jagged edge tells its own story of centuries past. This photograph is not merely a visual record; it encapsulates an era when men like Burrow ventured into uncharted territories armed with their cameras instead of swords. It symbolizes their unwavering curiosity for capturing moments that would otherwise fade away into oblivion. Preserved within these black-and-white tones lies more than just an image – it holds fragments of Cornish heritage and pride. It serves as a reminder that even amidst rapid modernization, there are still pockets where time seems to stand still – where one can lose themselves among ancient rocks under vast skies. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, let us appreciate both the artistry behind its creation and the rich history it represents - forever etching
