EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from September 1988, we are transported to the picturesque town of Lostwithiel in Cornwall. The image captures a momentous meeting by the serene River Fowey, where a group of passionate individuals gather with a shared purpose. Bredereth Sen Jago, an association dedicated to rediscovering and promoting the ancient pilgrim routes throughout Cornwall, has convened on this auspicious day. As they prepare for their journey through the historic town, local historian and esteemed member Catherine Rachel John takes center stage. With her deep knowledge and infectious enthusiasm, she points out a point of interest along the river bank to her fellow pilgrims. Her words seem to echo through time as she shares tales of centuries-old traditions and spiritual significance tied to these very grounds. The composition is beautifully framed by a rustic stone wall that stands as a testament to Cornwall's rich heritage. Its weathered texture tells stories of countless generations who have walked these paths before us. Photographer Jonathan Barker expertly captures not only the physical surroundings but also manages to convey an intangible sense of reverence and anticipation among those present. Through his lens, we can almost feel the collective energy building up as these modern-day explorers embark on their pilgrimage into history. This remarkable photograph serves as both documentation and inspiration—a visual reminder that our connection with ancestral roots can be found in unexpected places if we dare venture forth with open hearts and curious minds.
