EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in June 1909, this remarkable print transports us back to a time of camaraderie and exploration. Perched on the rugged clifftop near Watergate Bay Hotel in St Columb Minor, Cornwall, a group of men stand proudly against the breathtaking backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean. Among them are Herbert Hughes and T. Mitchell, both esteemed photographers who have ventured to this picturesque location to capture its natural beauty. The composition is strikingly framed by the imposing presence of Watergate Bay Hotel, an iconic landmark that has stood as a testament to Cornish hospitality for generations. Its grandeur serves as a reminder that even amidst nature's raw power, man-made structures can harmoniously coexist with their surroundings. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness not just skilled photographers capturing a momentous scene but also friends united by their shared passion for discovery. Their faces reveal excitement and wonderment as they gaze out into the vast expanse before them. This photograph is more than just an image; it encapsulates the spirit of adventure that permeates Cornwall's rich history. It speaks volumes about our innate desire to explore new horizons and forge connections with both nature and one another. Preserved within these delicate emulsion layers lies not only memories but also an invitation for us all to embark on our own journeys – be it through physical landscapes or personal growth – inspired by those who came before us.
