Artist Don Breckon, Lostwithiel, Cornwall. July 1991
Renowned railway artist Don Breckon at work in his studio in Lostwithiel. Dedicated to getting the detail precise, every painting is a complete story and social history.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the renowned railway artist, Don Breckon, engrossed in his work at his studio in Lostwithiel, Cornwall. Taken in July 1991 by photographer Jonathan Barker, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the meticulous process of an artist dedicated to capturing precise details and telling complete stories through his paintings. Don Breckon's passion for art is evident as he carefully selects brushes and stands before an easel adorned with unfinished masterpieces. His preferred era of inspiration lies within the 1950s and 1960s – a time that coincided with his own artistic journey. Each stroke on canvas holds not only aesthetic value but also serves as a window into social history. Having gained recognition for his exceptional talent, Don Breckon's artwork can be found gracing the pages of numerous books. At the time this photograph was taken, Country Connections had just been published, featuring forty reproductions of his paintings. The Royal Cornwall Museum proudly displays one such piece depicting the City of Truro locomotive passing by a tin mine – a testament to both Don's skill and appreciation for local heritage. In this image filled with artists' tools and works-in-progress, we witness Don Breckon immersed in creating timeless art that resonates with train enthusiasts and admirers alike.
