EDITORS COMMENTS
Transported to the early 1900s, this print captures the timeless charm of St Erth bridge in Cornwall. Standing tall over the tranquil River Hayle, the bridge serves as a gateway to a bygone era. In this idyllic scene, bathed in warm sunlight on a blissful summer's day, we are transported back in time to witness life unfold. To the left of the picture stands the church hall, an integral part of this close-knit community. Its presence symbolizes unity and faith that binds together these Cornish villagers. In the distance, nestled amidst lush greenery, lies the magnificent church of St Erth - an architectural gem that has withstood generations. As our gaze shifts towards its subjects, two well-dressed women and two children grace us with their presence. Their elegant attire reflects Edwardian fashion sensibilities while exuding an air of sophistication and refinement. Posed for eternity by photographer John Charles Burrow, they become frozen fragments from history itself. This remarkable print is not just about capturing a moment; it encapsulates an entire era steeped in tradition and simplicity. It invites us to explore and appreciate life as it once was – where bridges connected communities physically rather than digitally; where churches stood as beacons of hope; where families gathered under sunny skies.
