EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the western end of the sea front in St Mawes, Cornwall, on what is believed to be a sunny day in late June 1912. The image captures a picturesque scene of rowing boats gently bobbing alongside the sturdy harbour wall. It's as if time has stood still, allowing us to witness a moment frozen in history. The focal point of this enchanting photograph is undoubtedly the magnificent Castle Hotel, proudly perched overlooking the bustling harbor. Its grandeur and commanding presence evoke a sense of elegance and sophistication that was characteristic of that era. As we delve deeper into this visual treasure trove, we can almost hear the distant sounds of seagulls soaring above and feel the refreshing sea breeze brushing against our faces. This snapshot from over a century ago transports us to an idyllic coastal village where life seemed simpler yet filled with charm and tranquility. Photographer Herbert Hughes skillfully captured not only an exquisite landscape but also managed to immortalize an entire atmosphere within his lens. Through his artistry, he allows us to connect with generations long gone while reminding us of Cornwall's enduring beauty. This remarkable print serves as both a window into history and an invitation for reflection; it invites us to appreciate how much has changed since those bygone days while cherishing the timeless allure that continues to draw visitors towards St Mawes' breathtaking shores.
