EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the year 1904, capturing a mesmerizing view of Banjo Pier in Looe, Cornwall. The image showcases the landward end of the pier, with West Looe visible in the distance as we gaze towards the north. In this picturesque scene, our attention is immediately drawn to a group of photographers who have gathered at the forefront of the picture. Surrounded by curious children wearing traditional Cornish hats and pinafores, these skilled individuals are busy capturing moments frozen in time. Amongst them stands John Charles Burrow, holding his camera with expertise on display. His presence adds an air of professionalism to this candid moment captured by photographer Herbert Hughes. As we admire this snapshot from over a century ago, it becomes evident that photography was already an art form cherished by many during those times. The composition exudes a sense of tranquility and nostalgia as we imagine ourselves standing on that very pier all those years ago. It serves as a reminder that even though technology has evolved drastically since then, some things remain timeless - like capturing memories through photographs. This remarkable piece from Royal Cornwall Museum allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of Banjo Pier but also offers glimpses into life's simple pleasures during early 20th-century Cornwall – where cornish hats and pinafores were part of everyday attire for young ones exploring their surroundings.
