EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from around 1905, we are transported back in time to the picturesque Breakwater in Bude, Cornwall. The talented photographers, John Charles Burrow and Herbert Hughes, have expertly captured a moment frozen in history. At the end of the breakwater stands a group of Cornish people, their faces filled with anticipation and excitement. They form a perfect composition against the rugged rocks that jut out into the vast expanse of sea behind them. It is as if they are daring adventurers ready to conquer whatever challenges lie ahead. Herbert Hughes himself can be seen among his photographic party, holding his camera with utmost care and precision. His passion for capturing life's fleeting moments is evident in every detail of this remarkable image. Notably present on the breakwater is a lifebelt - an emblematic symbol of safety amidst unpredictable waters. Its presence serves as a reminder that even amidst breathtaking beauty, caution must always prevail. As we delve deeper into this photograph's narrative, one cannot help but wonder what stories lay hidden within its frames. Perhaps these individuals were avid readers who brought along newspapers to enjoy during their seaside escapade? Or maybe it was simply used as makeshift seating on those rocky shores? This extraordinary print from Royal Cornwall Museum allows us to step back in time and immerse ourselves in an era where nature's wonders met human curiosity head-on at Bude's enchanting Breakwater.
