EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing three men standing near a magnificent granite boulder in the picturesque Luxulyan Valley of Cornwall. Taken in 1900, this image offers a glimpse into the beauty of the Cornish countryside and its remarkable geological formations. The trio of men deliberately positions themselves next to the colossal boulder, providing an essential sense of scale and emphasizing its impressive size. It is believed that the man on the left side of the picture is none other than Herbert Hughes, a talented photographer who was closely associated with his friend John Charles Burrow. John Charles Burrow himself is credited as the photographer behind this stunning composition. His skillful eye expertly captures not only the natural splendor but also highlights his companions' presence within this rugged landscape. This photograph serves as a testament to both friendship and adventure. The men's photographic equipment can be seen subtly placed nearby, indicating their shared passion for capturing moments like these. Their camaraderie shines through their relaxed poses and genuine smiles. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back to an era when rural exploration and appreciation for nature's wonders were cherished pastimes. This print from Royal Cornwall Museum allows us to marvel at both human ingenuity and Mother Nature's awe-inspiring creations without any commercial intent or context overshadowing its true essence.
