EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to the picturesque harbour of St Mawes, Cornwall on a sunny day in June 1912. The vantage point chosen by photographer Herbert Hughes offers a unique perspective, capturing the essence of this charming village from above. As our eyes wander across the image, we are immediately drawn to the focal point - the majestic Falmouth Ferry named Roseland. With its elegant structure and billowing smokestacks, it stands proudly at the entrance of the bustling harbour. One can almost imagine hearing its horn echoing through the air as it prepares to dock. The scene is bathed in warm sunlight, casting a golden glow over everything it touches. The tranquil waters reflect this radiance, creating a shimmering mirror that enhances the beauty of both land and sea. From quaint cottages lining narrow streets to small fishing boats bobbing gently on gentle waves, every detail seems perfectly preserved in time. This photograph transports us back over a century ago when life moved at a slower pace and simplicity reigned supreme. It serves as an invaluable window into history, allowing us to appreciate how much has changed while also reminding us of what remains timeless - natural beauty and human connection. With each glance at this remarkable print, one cannot help but be captivated by its charm and transported to another era altogether – where serenity met with maritime adventure amidst breathtaking coastal scenery.
