The Steeple, Kynance Cove - A Captivating Snapshot of 19th Century Cornwall
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th century Cornwall. Entitled "The Steeple, Kynance Cove, c1870" it captures the majestic beauty of Steeple Rock at Kynance Cove on the Lizard peninsula in Mounts Bay. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from "Picturesque Europe - The British Isles, Vol. I" published by Cassell, Petter & Galpin in London around 1870, we are transported to a time when rambling along rugged coastlines was a popular pastime for English gentlemen. In this scenic landscape engraving, a lone figure stands precariously on the jagged rock formation that gives its name to this picturesque location. With his presence adding scale and perspective to the scene, we can truly appreciate the grandeur and geological wonders that Cornwall has to offer. The dramatic cliffs and crashing waves against the backdrop of an endless sea evoke a sense of awe and wonderment. It is no surprise that Kynance Cove became a sought-after tourist attraction even during those times. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also offers us insight into England's rich literary heritage. It reminds us of how literature often drew inspiration from such breathtaking landscapes – inspiring writers like Thomas Hardy or Daphne du Maurier who found solace in these very shores. With each glance at this historical gem captured by The Print Collector/Heritage Images, we are reminded of our connection with nature's timeless beauty and our desire to explore new horizons just as those intrepid travelers did centuries ago.
