EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to the picturesque harbour of St Mawes, Cornwall on a sunny day in June 1912. The image beautifully captures the essence of this charming coastal town, with its idyllic harbor and bustling maritime activity. In the foreground, we see the magnificent sailing ship named Daisy of Devoran gracefully moored alongside the sturdy harbour wall. Its tall masts reach towards the clear blue sky, showcasing its grandeur and elegance. This vessel serves as a reminder of Cornwall's rich maritime history and its close connection to seafaring traditions. Adjacent to the ship, a horse-drawn trap stands patiently by. It is an intriguing contrast between old and new modes of transportation - where traditional horsepower meets modern sailing vessels. This juxtaposition highlights how life was transitioning during that era. The photographer behind this remarkable snapshot is John Charles Burrow, whose keen eye for detail immortalized this moment forever. His expertise in capturing scenes like these allows us to appreciate not only their aesthetic beauty but also their historical significance. As we gaze upon this timeless photograph print stamped by J. C Burrow himself, we are transported back over a century ago when St Mawes' harbor was alive with activity and filled with stories waiting to be told. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with capturing moments frozen in time through photography – preserving memories for generations yet unborn.
