EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing a group of talented Cornish photographers. Taken between the 16th and 23rd of May in 1896, this image transports us back to St Marys, one of the enchanting Isles of Scilly nestled off the coast of Cornwall. In this remarkable frontispiece from "In the Isles of Scilly, 1896" we see four Victorian gentlemen standing proudly amidst rugged rocks. From left to right, they are John Charles Burrow, William Thomas, Herbert Hughes, and possibly R. Arthur Thomas – cousin to William Thomas. The identity of the photographer remains unknown but their skill is evident as they expertly capture this timeless scene. The photographers themselves exude an air of professionalism as they stand beside their photographic equipment. A sturdy tripod supports what appears to be large plate cameras - technological marvels for their time. These instruments allowed these skilled individuals to immortalize moments with precision and artistry. This photograph not only serves as a testament to the talent and dedication of these Cornish photographers but also provides a glimpse into life during that era in Cornwall's history. It reminds us how photography has always been an invaluable tool for capturing memories and preserving our heritage
