EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1898, capturing the breathtaking view of Cape Cornwall from Kenidjack Valley in St Just, Penwith, Cornwall. The photographer, Herbert Hughes, skillfully frames the scene with precision and artistry. In this image, our gaze is drawn towards the majestic chimney stack of Cape Cornwall Mine perched on the headland. To its right stands the iconic Brisons rock formation. These elements serve as a reminder of Cornwall's rich mining history and rugged coastal landscape. Cape Cornwall itself holds great significance as it marks a natural division point for Atlantic currents. As we admire this photograph, we can imagine witnessing these powerful waters part ways - some flowing north into the Bristol Channel and Irish Sea while others continue their journey to become part of the English Channel. The Cornish coastline depicted here is truly mesmerizing; its raw beauty captured by Hughes' lens transports us to another time. The vastness of Nancherrow beach stretches out before us while waves crash against rocky cliffs in perfect harmony with nature's symphony. This print from Royal Cornwall Museum serves as a window into both history and natural wonder. It invites us to appreciate not only the artistic talent behind its creation but also reflects upon our connection with land and sea.
