EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to the picturesque Gurnards Head in Zennor, Cornwall. The date is July 3rd, 1911, a moment frozen forever by the lens of photographer Herbert Hughes. The scene unfolds on the east side of Lean Point, where two men stand prominently in the foreground. One holds a camera and tripod with utmost care and precision, ready to capture the beauty that surrounds them. The seated figure beside him is believed to be John Charles Burrow, his identity lending an air of mystery and intrigue to this historic image. Gazing beyond these figures, our eyes are drawn towards Gurnards Head itself - a rugged promontory jutting out into the vast expanse of ocean. Its sheer cliffs rise majestically against the crashing waves below, creating a dramatic backdrop for this timeless snapshot. As we delve deeper into this photograph's details, it becomes clear that it is not just an ordinary landscape shot; it speaks volumes about human curiosity and our desire to document nature's wonders. It transports us back to a simpler time when capturing moments required patience and skill. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's archives, this evocative image serves as both a window into history and an homage to those who came before us - reminding us of their passion for exploration and preservation through photography.
