EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s showcases the picturesque St Catherines Point in Fowey, Cornwall. The image, taken from the north east, offers a breathtaking view upstream towards Polruan. With its stunning composition, it beautifully captures the essence of this idyllic coastal town. On the left side of the photograph stands an enigmatic castle, shrouded in mystery and history. Its ancient walls seem to whisper tales of battles fought and secrets kept throughout centuries past. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we can't help but imagine what stories lie within those weathered stones. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the mesmerizing harbour mouth that stretches out before us. The tranquil waters reflect a serene atmosphere as fishing boats gently bob along their moorings. This bustling hub serves as a gateway to adventure and exploration for both locals and visitors alike. Although captured by an unknown photographer, their skillful eye has immortalized a moment that encapsulates Cornwall's natural beauty and maritime heritage with remarkable clarity. It reminds us of simpler times when life moved at a slower pace and nature reigned supreme. As we admire this print displayed at Royal Cornwall Museum, let us be transported back to an era where rugged cliffs met rolling waves; where castles guarded against unseen threats; where harbours whispered tales of trade and seafaring adventures. May it serve as a reminder to cherish our rich history while embracing the timeless allure of Cornwall's coastal charm.
