EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1908 transports us back in time to the picturesque village of Coverack and Dolor Point in St Keverne, Cornwall. The image showcases a breathtaking view across the corner of Perprean Cove, capturing the essence of this idyllic coastal location. In the foreground, we are treated to a glimpse of rugged cliffs and rocky shores that define Cornwall's natural beauty. The crystal-clear waters gently lap against the shore, inviting us to imagine ourselves strolling along its sandy beaches. On the right-hand edge of the picture stands the Coast Guard Station, an integral part of protecting these treacherous waters. Its presence adds a touch of authenticity to this snapshot from history. Notably, we spot a flag mast dressed for some celebratory occasion—a testament to community spirit and perhaps marking an important event in Coverack's past. The photographer behind this remarkable composition is Herbert Hughes, whose keen eye captures every detail with precision and artistry. Through his lens, he encapsulates both Edwardian charm and Cornish allure—elements that continue to enchant visitors today. As we admire this vintage print from Royal Cornwall Museum, let it transport us on a journey through time—to an era when life moved at a slower pace amidst stunning landscapes like those found in Coverack and Dolor Point. Let it remind us that even as years pass by, there will always be timeless beauty waiting to be discovered within our own backyard.
