EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the summer of 1910, this remarkable print takes us back to Trevaunance Beach in St Agnes, Cornwall. The scene unfolds with a sense of timeless beauty as three figures stand transfixed by the captivating sight before them. On the far right stands William Thomas, an esteemed member of the Camborne School of Mines, accompanied by an unidentified photographer and another gentleman. Their attention is drawn towards a group of skilled fishermen who diligently paint a clinker built lugger, their expertise evident in every brushstroke. As our gaze extends beyond the beach, we are greeted with the majestic silhouette of Wheal Friendly mine on the skyline. A testament to Cornwall's rich mining heritage, this particular mine was part of Wheal Kitty and had been reopened just ten years prior in 1900. Incredibly, it had already reached depths of 80 fathoms by 1910 - a true testament to human ingenuity and determination. The photograph itself bears witness to Edwardian-era charm; its sepia tones evoke nostalgia for simpler times when coastal communities thrived on both fishing and mining industries. It serves as a poignant reminder that these interconnected trades were not merely sources of livelihood but integral parts of Cornish identity. Preserved within this image is more than just history; it encapsulates resilience and unity amidst changing tides. Let us cherish this snapshot from over a century ago as we honor those who shaped Cornwall's past while embracing its vibrant present.
