EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1901 showcases the breathtaking beauty of Penhale Point and Wheal Golden in Perranzabuloe, Cornwall. As we delve into this mesmerizing image, our eyes are immediately drawn to the rugged coastline that stretches out before us. The Cornish cliffs stand tall and proud, their majestic presence reminding us of the raw power of nature. In the foreground, Hoblyn Gorge (Hoblyn Cove) invites us to explore its hidden wonders. Its tranquil waters reflect the golden hues of sunlight as it filters through the clouds above. We can almost feel a gentle breeze caressing our skin as we imagine ourselves standing on those sandy shores. Our gaze then shifts towards the cliff top where an intriguing sight awaits - Wheal Golden's engine house and mine buildings perched precariously on its edge. These structures serve as a reminder of Cornwall's rich mining heritage, evoking images of hardworking miners who once toiled tirelessly within these very walls. Captured by photographer Herbert Hughes with remarkable skill and precision, this photograph transports us back in time to witness a moment frozen forever in history. It encapsulates not only the natural splendor but also pays homage to Cornwall's industrial past. As we admire this stunning piece at Royal Cornwall Museum, let us immerse ourselves in its narrative - one that speaks volumes about both man's resilience against nature's forces and his deep connection with this enchanting coastal landscape.
