EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s showcases the picturesque Point Neptune House, nestled in the charming coastal town of Fowey, Cornwall. The image captures a breathtaking view from St Catherines, offering a glimpse northwards towards the bustling harbour entrance. Rows of quaint houses dotting the coastline create a delightful sight against the backdrop of rugged Cornish cliffs. The photographer's identity may remain unknown, but their skill is evident in this beautifully composed snapshot. As our eyes wander through this historic scene, we are drawn to the lively harbor below. Boats gently bob on calm waters as they await their next adventure at sea. Amidst this idyllic setting stands an elegant flagpole proudly displaying its colors against clear blue skies. Its presence adds a touch of maritime charm and reminds us of Fowey's rich nautical heritage. Intriguingly, rowing boats can be spotted near the shorelines – perhaps local fishermen or enthusiasts enjoying a leisurely day out on these serene waters. Their presence further enhances this timeless photograph by adding human activity to an otherwise tranquil landscape. This remarkable print holds within it not just visual beauty but also whispers stories of generations past who called Fowey home. It invites us to immerse ourselves in its history and appreciate Cornwall's natural splendor that has captivated visitors for centuries.
