EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1908 transports us back in time to the rugged beauty of Bumble Rock, located in Landewednack, Cornwall. The image captures a mesmerizing view of this iconic Cornish coastal landmark, with its majestic rock formations rising proudly from the crashing waves below. As we gaze upon the photograph, our eyes are drawn towards a passing steamship on the distant horizon, gracefully sailing through the vast expanse of sea. The photographer behind this remarkable composition is Herbert Hughes, whose keen eye for detail and appreciation for natural landscapes shines through his work. Hughes skillfully captures the essence of Bumble Rock's grandeur and its harmonious coexistence with the ever-changing ocean currents. Situated on the Lizard Peninsula, Bumble Rock stands as a testament to nature's artistic prowess - an enduring symbol of strength against relentless tides. Its towering stack formation serves as both a navigational marker for ships and a source of wonder for those who witness its magnificence up close. As we immerse ourselves in this historic photograph from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, we find ourselves transported to an era where steamships ruled maritime travel. It reminds us that even amidst technological advancements and changing times, there will always be timeless wonders like Bumble Rock that continue to captivate our imagination and connect us to our rich coastal heritage.
