EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the picturesque village of Boscastle, Cornwall, in the year 1905. The skilled lens of photographer Herbert Hughes has beautifully captured a scene that exudes tranquility and charm. In this idyllic setting, an old stone bridge gracefully arches over a meandering river, reflecting the surrounding cornish landscape. Lush green trees line the hillside, creating a natural frame for the quaint buildings nestled along its slopes. Amongst them stands an enchanting water mill, its wooden wheel silently turning as it harnesses the power of the flowing stream. The composition is simply breathtaking; every element harmoniously blending together to create a timeless snapshot of rural life in Cornwall at the turn of the century. One can almost imagine hearing birdsong carried on a gentle breeze and feeling rays of sunlight filtering through branches overhead. This print from Royal Cornwall Museum not only captures physical structures but also preserves memories and stories woven into their very fabric. It serves as a testament to our rich heritage and reminds us of simpler times when communities thrived alongside nature's beauty. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back to an era where life moved at a slower pace - where bridges connected more than just two banks; they bridged generations and cultures while mills hummed with purposeful activity. Let this photograph be our window into history—a reminder that even amidst progress and change, there will always be value in cherishing our roots and preserving moments frozen in time
