EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 1900s, capturing a breathtaking view of Cape Cornwall from above Porth Ledden. The rugged Cornish coast stretches out before us, with its dramatic cliffs and crashing waves. In the distance, we can see The Brisons rising from the sea like ancient sentinels. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the imposing chimney stack of Cape Cornwall Mine perched on the headland. It stands as a testament to Cornwall's rich mining history and serves as a reminder of the region's industrial past. But it is not just its historical significance that makes this photograph so remarkable; it also showcases nature's power and beauty. Cape Cornwall marks an important geographical point where Atlantic currents divide, sending water in different directions. Some flow northward into the Bristol Channel and Irish Sea while others become part of the English Channel. This stunning print belongs to the A. K. Hamilton Jenkin collection at Royal Cornwall Museum, although its original photographer remains unknown. Its timeless appeal lies in its ability to transport us back in time, allowing us to appreciate both man-made structures and natural wonders that have shaped this unique coastal landscape.
