EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured through the lens of Canon Henry Holroyd Mills, this vintage print showcases the picturesque waterfront of St Mawes in Cornwall during the early 1900s. The image offers a timeless glimpse into a bygone era, where tranquility and natural beauty harmoniously coexist. As we gaze upon this scene, our eyes are drawn to the mesmerizing view from the sea. The azure waters gently lap against quaint fishing boats that bob gracefully along the shoreline. The charm of St Mawes is palpable as traditional stone buildings line the water's edge, their colorful facades reflecting in shimmering ripples below. The composition exudes a sense of serenity and simplicity; it transports us back to an era when life moved at a slower pace. One can almost imagine hearing seagulls' cries carried on gentle coastal breezes or catching whispers of conversations between locals as they go about their daily routines. This photograph serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece. It encapsulates not only the physical landscape but also captures intangible elements such as community spirit and maritime heritage that have shaped St Mawes throughout its history. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this evocative print invites us to immerse ourselves in Cornwall's rich cultural tapestry while reminding us of our connection to those who came before us.
