EDITORS COMMENTS
Nestled amidst the lush greenery and picturesque cliffs of Lynmouth, Devon, lies the quaint and historic Shelleys Cottage. This charming photograph, captured in the 1950s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of simple pleasures and natural beauty. Shelleys Cottage, located near the bustling village of Lynton, has a rich and fascinating history. It was once the home of the famous Romantic poet, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and his wife, Mary Shelley, the author of the classic novel "Frankenstein." The couple spent their honeymoon in this idyllic location in 1814, and it is believed that the stunning beauty of the area inspired Shelley's poetry. The photograph reveals the cottage in all its rustic charm, with ivy-covered walls, thatched roof, and a quaint garden filled with vibrant flowers. The scene is completed by the tranquil waters of the Lyn River, which flows gently by the cottage, adding to its serene and peaceful ambiance. The 1950s were a time of post-war recovery and optimism in Britain, and this photograph captures the essence of the period, with its simple pleasures and appreciation for the beauty of nature. The image invites us to imagine the lives of the people who lived in the cottage, and to reflect on the enduring power of art and literature to transport us to other times and places. Shelleys Cottage remains a popular tourist destination today, attracting visitors from around the world who seek to connect with the rich literary and historical heritage of Devon and the South West of England. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring allure of this beautiful and historic cottage, and the power of photography to capture and preserve moments in time.
