EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s transports us to a simpler time, where children and adults alike gathered on the rocky shores of Cape Cornwall. The image, captured by an unknown photographer, showcases a group of youngsters in traditional Cornish costumes, their innocent faces filled with joy and wonderment. Located in St Just in Penwith, Cornwall, this picturesque scene likely unfolds at Priests Cove. In the background stands the majestic Brisons, adding a touch of grandeur to the already breathtaking landscape. Cape Cornwall itself holds great significance as it marks the point where powerful Atlantic currents divide. Some of these waters flow northward into the Bristol Channel and Irish Sea while others continue their journey towards becoming part of the English Channel. The beauty of this stereo view lies not only in its historical value but also in its ability to transport us back to a time when life was simpler and nature's wonders were cherished without distraction. The authenticity captured within this photograph is truly remarkable. As we gaze upon this piece from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, we are reminded that there is much wisdom to be gained from our ancestors' connection with nature and each other – lessons that remain relevant even today.
