This print from 1899 transports us back in time to the picturesque Pentreath Beach, nestled within the enchanting Landewednack village on Cornwall's rugged coastline. The Victorian era ambiance is palpable as we gaze upon this stunning image captured by renowned photographer Herbert Hughes. The scene before us showcases a mesmerizing view of majestic rocks emerging from the crystal-clear sea waters, creating a natural spectacle that has withstood the test of time. Waves gracefully roll onto the shore, their rhythmic dance echoing through our imagination. As we cast our eyes further into the horizon, a magnificent steamship emerges like an apparition against the vast expanse of blue. This photograph not only captures the beauty and tranquility of Pentreath Beach but also serves as a testament to Cornwall's rich maritime heritage. The ship on the horizon symbolizes both progress and adventure, reminding us of Cornwall's historical connection with seafaring trade and exploration. Situated on The Lizard Peninsula, known for its dramatic cliffs and breathtaking scenery, Pentreath Beach offers visitors an idyllic escape from everyday life even today. This evocative image invites us to immerse ourselves in its timeless charm while igniting our curiosity about those who once walked these shores over a century ago. As it graces your home or office space, this remarkable print becomes more than just a piece of art; it becomes a portal into history—a window into an era when Cornish coastal beauty met Victorian ingenuity amidst waves
