EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to Porthcew beach, Rinsey, Breage, Cornwall, during what is believed to be the early 1900s. The image beautifully captures a moment of youthful joy and adventure as two boys fearlessly dive from the rocks into the sparkling sea below. Dressed in traditional Victorian attire, these brave souls defy convention by indulging in a refreshing dip amidst the rugged beauty of this Cornish coastal landscape. Their carefree spirits are evident as they leap with abandon into the crystal-clear waters, their laughter echoing against the cliffs. Photographer Herbert Hughes skillfully freezes this exhilarating scene for eternity. His lens perfectly frames not only the daring divers but also showcases the breathtaking coastline that stretches out before them. The jagged rocks and crashing waves serve as a dramatic backdrop to their audacious escapades. This photograph transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine ourselves alongside these adventurous boys on that long-gone summer's day. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when nature was our playground and exploration knew no bounds. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history captured through Hughes' lens, we cannot help but feel an overwhelming sense of nostalgia for an era gone by – one where innocence mingled with bravery against a backdrop of stunning natural beauty along Cornwall's coastlines.
