EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous occasion in Newquay, Cornwall, back in August 1913. The image showcases a crowd of elegantly dressed individuals gathered near the coastguard lookout on Hospital Sunday. Overlooking the stunning coastal landscape and with the majestic Atlantic Hotel standing proudly in the background, this scene exudes both charm and historical significance. The coastguard signal station featured in this photograph was constructed way back in 1833 but would later be replaced by the War Memorial unveiled by none other than the Prince of Wales himself in 1921. This particular snapshot offers a glimpse into an era long gone, showcasing how communities came together to celebrate important events and support local causes. Part of the esteemed J. H. Trounson collection at Royal Cornwall Museum, this stereoscopic view brings to life not just an iconic headland or picturesque town setting but also highlights Cornish traditions and customs that have stood the test of time. While we may not know who precisely captured this remarkable moment through their lens all those years ago, their work has left us with a treasured piece of history
