EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting Tintagel Haven in Cornwall, circa 1907. The lens of photographer Herbert Hughes skillfully captures the rugged beauty of this coastal gem from a unique vantage point. Standing above winze, a connecting frame for an underground mine, we are treated to a breathtaking view of Barras Nose. The image exudes an air of mystery and adventure as we gaze upon the dramatic cliffs that plunge into the foaming sea below. The jagged rocks jutting out amidst crashing waves create a sense of awe-inspiring grandeur. It is easy to imagine oneself standing on that very spot, feeling both exhilarated by nature's raw power and humbled by its timeless presence. Hughes' choice to present this scene in monochrome adds depth and intensity to every detail captured within the frame. The absence of color allows us to focus solely on the interplay between light and shadow, enhancing our appreciation for the intricate textures found along these ancient shores. As we admire this remarkable piece from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, let us be transported back over a century ago when Tintagel Haven was already renowned for its natural splendor. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that some landscapes remain eternally captivating, their allure transcending time itself.
