EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1900 showcases the breathtaking beauty of Bedruthan, St Eval, Cornwall. The image captures a mesmerizing rock formation known as Good Samaritan Rock at Bedruthan Beach, with the majestic Queen Bess Rock standing tall behind it. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we can't help but be drawn to the man standing on the beach, his presence adding a sense of scale and perspective to the vastness of nature. Good Samaritan Rock earned its name from a tragic shipwreck that occurred there in 1846. This haunting reminder of human vulnerability amidst nature's power only adds to the mystique surrounding this remarkable coastal landscape. Similarly, Queen Bess Rock was named during the Victorian era due to its striking resemblance to Elizabeth I. The photographer responsible for capturing this extraordinary moment is John Charles Burrow. His keen eye and technical skill have allowed us to witness this stunning tableau over a century later. As we immerse ourselves in this image, we are transported back in time when low tide revealed hidden treasures along Cornwall's coastlines. The rugged beauty of these rock formations against the backdrop of an endless sea evokes feelings of awe and wonderment. This print serves as both a historical artifact and an invitation for us to appreciate and protect our natural wonders. It reminds us that even amidst constant change, some things remain timeless – like Bedruthan's enduring allure.
