EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting coastal landscape of Cornwall in 1898. From the vantage point of Polpry Cove, we are treated to a distant view of Cape Cornwall and Gribba Point. The rugged beauty of the Cornish coast is on full display, with towering cliffs and jagged rocks framing the picture-perfect scene. In this snapshot, our eyes are drawn to the prominent chimney stack of Cape Cornwall Mine perched atop the headland. A testament to Cornwall's rich mining history, it stands as a reminder of the region's industrial past. Beyond its historical significance, Cape Cornwall also holds geographical importance as it marks where Atlantic currents diverge. Here, nature's forces shape destinies as some water flows north into the Bristol Channel and Irish Sea while others become part of the English Channel. The photographer behind this remarkable image is Herbert Hughes, whose skillful lens captures both grandeur and tranquility in equal measure. As we gaze upon this photograph today, over a century later, we can't help but be transported back in time to an era when life moved at a slower pace along these picturesque shores. This stunning piece from Royal Cornwall Museum encapsulates not only Cornish heritage but also showcases nature's raw power against man-made structures—a timeless reminder that even amidst progress and change, Mother Nature always reclaims her dominion along this breathtaking coastline.
