EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting Cathedral Cavern, nestled within the picturesque landscapes of St Columb Porth, Cornwall. Taken in June 1909 by the talented photographer John Charles Burrow, this image captures a group of photographers immersed in their craft within the depths of a cave, likely either Cathedral Cavern or its neighboring Banqueting Hall. The scene is shrouded in an air of mystery as we witness these intrepid individuals navigating through the dimly lit caverns with their cameras at hand. The play of light and shadow creates an ethereal atmosphere, enhancing the beauty and grandeur of this natural wonder. It is evident that they are captivated by their surroundings; perhaps they were drawn to capture the intricate rock formations or mesmerized by the echoes bouncing off ancient walls. Cornwall's rugged coastline has long been a source of inspiration for artists and explorers alike, and this photograph serves as a testament to its timeless allure. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot from over a century ago, it reminds us of our connection to nature's wonders and our enduring fascination with capturing them through photography. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's archives, this print invites us on a journey into Cornwall's past while also igniting our curiosity about what lies beyond those rocky caves along Newquay's coast.
