EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1908 takes us back in time to the picturesque Housel Bay and Pen Olver Point, located in the enchanting Landewednack region of Cornwall. The image beautifully captures the rugged beauty of this coastal landscape, with its dramatic cliffs and crashing waves. In the foreground, a solitary man sits on a weathered rock, his gaze fixed upon the vast expanse of sea before him. His presence adds a sense of scale to this breathtaking vista, reminding us of our own insignificance compared to nature's grandeur. As we follow his line of sight towards the horizon, we spot several ships gracefully sailing through calm waters. Their silhouettes against the distant sky evoke a feeling of adventure and exploration. The photographer behind this remarkable shot is Herbert Hughes, whose keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate every nuance in this scene. His composition skillfully balances elements such as light and shadow, showcasing both the power and tranquility that define Cornwall's coastline. This print serves as an exquisite reminder of Cornwall's natural wonders; it transports us back over a century ago when life was simpler yet equally awe-inspiring. It invites us to pause for a moment and reflect on our connection with nature while marveling at its timeless beauty.
