EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to the rugged beauty of Dodman Point in Cornwall on a sunny day, June 7th, 1909. The focal point of the image is an imposing stone cross that stands proudly against the dramatic coastal backdrop. Three distinguished gentlemen are captured in this momentous scene, with one of them seated near the cross, possibly identified as Herbert Hughes. The photograph exudes a sense of tranquility and contemplation as these men gather by this ancient symbol. It invites us to ponder their connection to this mystical place and what might have brought them here on that particular day. Were they locals paying homage to their heritage or perhaps visitors drawn by the allure of Cornwall's natural wonders? Photographer John Charles Burrow skillfully captures not only the physicality of Dodman Point but also its spiritual essence. The composition allows our eyes to wander along jagged cliffs and crashing waves before settling upon these figures who seem lost in thought. As we gaze at this historical snapshot, we can't help but feel a deep appreciation for both nature's grandeur and human curiosity. This image serves as a testament to our timeless fascination with ancient landmarks like Dodman Point's stone cross and reminds us that even amidst change, there are enduring connections between people and places throughout history.
