EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1913, taken by the talented photographer John Charles Burrow, transports us back in time to the picturesque coastal town of Bude in Cornwall. The image showcases a serene scene where a breakwater gracefully stretches out into the glistening turquoise waters of the Cornish harbor. Nestled against this protective barrier is a magnificent moored schooner, its sails neatly furled and ready for its next voyage. The composition exudes tranquility as it captures not only the beauty of nature but also human activity within this maritime setting. A group of people can be seen scattered along the breakwater, their presence adding a sense of scale and life to an otherwise peaceful tableau. Perhaps they are fishermen preparing their nets or locals enjoying an afternoon stroll along these historic shores. Cornwall's rich seafaring heritage is palpable in every detail of this photograph. From the weathered wooden planks that make up both boat and breakwater to the timeless charm emanating from every corner, one cannot help but feel connected to a bygone era when sailing vessels ruled these waters. Preserved with utmost care at Royal Cornwall Museum, this remarkable snapshot serves as both a window into history and an invitation to explore our collective past. It reminds us how photography has always been instrumental in capturing moments that transcend time itself – allowing future generations to appreciate and understand our shared cultural legacy.
