EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s transports us to the rugged coast of Cornwall, where history and nature intertwine. The image captures a breathtaking view of Wheal Call Count House, perched above Porth Ledden, with the majestic Brisons in the distance. As we gaze at this scene frozen in time, our eyes are drawn to the prominent chimney stack of Cape Cornwall Mine on the headland. This iconic landmark serves as a reminder of Cornwall's rich mining heritage that once shaped its landscape and economy. Beyond its historical significance, Cape Cornwall holds another intriguing secret - it marks a natural division point for Atlantic currents. Here, some waters flow north into the Bristol Channel and Irish Sea while others continue their journey southward into the English Channel. The photographer behind this remarkable shot remains unknown, but their skill is evident in capturing such an awe-inspiring moment. The composition beautifully frames both man-made structures and untouched natural beauty. This print evokes a sense of wonderment as we contemplate Cornwall's past and present colliding amidst stunning coastal scenery. It serves as a testament to the enduring allure of Cornish landscapes - forever etching themselves into our hearts with their timeless charm.
