EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s transports us to the rugged and enchanting coastline of Roundhole Point, Trevone in Cornwall. The image showcases a breathtaking view of the majestic cliffs on the northwest side of Trevone Bay, adorned with quaint houses nestled within the village. However, it is the mesmerizing blow hole that takes center stage in this photograph. The blow hole, situated prominently in the center of the frame, stands as a testament to nature's awe-inspiring power. Formed by a collapsed sea cave, this geological wonder plunges an astonishing eighty feet deep into its mysterious depths. Its presence serves as a reminder of both Cornwall's rich natural heritage and its ever-changing coastal landscape. Though captured by an unknown photographer, their skillful composition allows us to appreciate not only the grandeur of this unique feature but also offers glimpses into daily life in this Cornish village during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene frozen in time, we are reminded of Cornwall's enduring allure – its picturesque villages perched on dramatic cliffs overlooking tumultuous seas. This print serves as a window into history and invites us to reflect upon our connection with nature and marvel at its extraordinary creations.
