EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in time, this vintage print transports us back to the enchanting era of Victorian Cornwall. Pengersick Castle, majestically perched atop a rugged cliff in Breage, stands as a testament to the region's rich history. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, revealing two elegantly dressed women and a distinguished gentleman standing proudly before the castle's imposing facade. Taken from the south side, the composition showcases both the grandeur of Pengersick Castle and its breathtaking surroundings. The sheer cliffs cascade down towards Praa Sands, where waves gently caress the sandy shore. It is as if nature itself conspires with architecture to create an awe-inspiring scene. The identity of the unknown photographer may remain shrouded in mystery; however, their skillful eye has immortalized this moment forever. Through their lens, we are transported back to an era when horse-drawn carriages traversed cobbled streets and ladies donned intricate lace parasols. This image evokes feelings of nostalgia and curiosity about life in late 19th-century Cornwall. It serves as a reminder that even centuries-old castles have witnessed countless stories unfold within their walls. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, let our imagination wander through time and space – exploring not only Pengersick Castle but also pondering on how much has changed since those bygone days.
