EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to the year 1895, offering a mesmerizing glimpse into Portreath village and its bustling harbor. The skilled lens of photographer John Charles Burrow transports us to this picturesque coastal town in Cornwall, England. As our eyes wander across the image, we are immediately drawn to the charming village nestled amidst rolling hills and rugged cliffs. The quaint cottages with their thatched roofs exude an air of tranquility, while the vibrant colors of blooming flowers add a touch of natural beauty to this idyllic scene. Intriguingly, it is not just the village that captures our attention; it is also the lively harbor that lies adjacent. Our gaze follows as ships gracefully navigate through calm waters towards their destination. These vessels symbolize trade and adventure, reminding us of Portreath's rich maritime history. The sandy beach stretching along the coastline invites locals and visitors alike for leisurely strolls or perhaps even a dip in refreshing waters on warm summer days. It serves as a place where memories are made - children building sandcastles while families enjoy picnics under clear blue skies. This remarkable print allows us to witness Portreath frozen in time – an exquisite moment captured over a century ago by John Charles Burrow's keen eye for detail. It encapsulates both Cornish charm and nautical allure within its frame, transporting us back to an era when life unfolded at a more serene pace along these shores.
