EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the stunning Watergate Bay near Florys Island, St Columb Minor, Cornwall. It was captured on a summer's day on the 17th of June, 1909 by the talented photographer John Charles Burrow. The image showcases a group of men, including fellow photographers T. Mitchell and Herbert Hughes, gathered at this picturesque location. As we gaze upon this historical scene, our eyes are drawn towards Zachrys Island in the distance. The calm waters of the bay reflect the soft rays of sunlight that illuminate its sandy shores. The men seem engrossed in conversation or perhaps discussing their photographic techniques while surrounded by nature's beauty. Watergate Bay has long been cherished for its natural splendor and is known as a popular destination for beach enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. This photograph serves as a timeless reminder of how generations before us also sought solace and inspiration amidst these breathtaking surroundings. Preserved within the archives of Royal Cornwall Museum, this print allows us to step into an era where simplicity reigned supreme – where capturing moments required patience and skill with every click of the camera shutter. Let this remarkable snapshot transport you to a bygone era when life moved at a slower pace; immerse yourself in the tranquility that only Cornwall's coastal charm can offer.
