EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1904 showcases the picturesque St Catherines Point in Fowey, Cornwall. Captured by the talented photographer Herbert Hughes, this image offers a glimpse into the past and transports us to a time when life moved at a different pace. From the vantage point of the north east, we are treated to an enchanting view of this coastal gem. The imposing castle stands proudly on the left side of the frame, its ancient walls whispering tales of history and intrigue. As our eyes wander upstream towards Polruan, we are greeted by a charming array of buildings nestled along the harbour mouth. The rugged beauty of Cornwall's heathland surrounds this idyllic scene, adding depth and texture to an already mesmerizing composition. A solitary tower rises above it all, serving as a reminder that even amidst nature's grandeur, human ingenuity can leave its mark. Boats dotting the water complete this timeless tableau; their presence hinting at a bustling maritime community that thrived in these waters over a century ago. This remarkable print captures not just an exquisite landscape but also preserves moments frozen in time. It serves as both a testament to Cornwall's enduring allure and as an invitation for us to explore its rich heritage further.
