EDITORS COMMENTS
Transporting us back to the early 1900s, this print captures the serene beauty of Coverack, St Keverne in Cornwall. The image showcases a picturesque view from the bustling harbour out to the vast expanse of the sea. Amidst this tranquil scene stands an awe-inspiring sight - a battleship majestically sailing on the horizon. Experts suggest that this formidable vessel belongs to the Super Dreadnought Orion Class, dating our photograph between 1910 and 1926. The photographer behind this remarkable snapshot remains unknown, yet their skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the idyllic Cornish landscape and Britain's naval might during Edwardian times. The harmonious blend of natural elements with man-made power evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era defined by maritime prowess. As we gaze upon this historic gem from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, we are transported into a world where quaint coastal villages coexist with towering warships. This intriguing juxtaposition invites contemplation about how these contrasting forces shaped life in Cornwall at that time. Let your imagination wander as you explore every detail within this print – from the charming harbor dotted with fishing boats to the distant silhouette of one of history's most fearsome naval vessels. It is through such glimpses into our past that we can truly appreciate and understand our rich heritage.
