EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the early 1900s, we are transported back in time to Rinsey Head, Breage, Cornwall. The image showcases a group of adults and children gathered on the beach rocks, their presence adding life and energy to the rugged coastal landscape. Photographer Herbert Hughes skillfully captures the essence of this moment, freezing it in time for us to marvel at. The subjects of the photograph are dressed in traditional Victorian attire, their elegant garments contrasting with the untamed beauty of nature surrounding them. Against a backdrop of towering cliffs and crashing waves, they stand as testaments to both human resilience and our innate desire to connect with nature's wonders. As we gaze upon this scene, one can almost feel the salty sea breeze on our faces and hear laughter mingling with seagull cries. It is a snapshot that encapsulates not only a specific place but also an era - where bathing by the coast was an indulgence reserved for those who could afford leisurely pursuits. This remarkable print serves as a window into history; it allows us to reflect upon how society has evolved while reminding us that some things remain timeless - our fascination with Cornwall's breathtaking coastline being one such constant source of awe and inspiration.
