EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to Helford, Cornwall in 1912. The image beautifully captures a serene view down the east bank of the creek during low tide, revealing much of the riverbed beneath. Renowned photographer Herbert Hughes skillfully frames this scene, showcasing his talent for capturing the essence of Edwardian-era Cornwall. The tranquility of this snapshot is enhanced by a rowboat gently resting on the exposed riverbed, seemingly awaiting its next adventure. Surrounding it are charming houses that line the creek's edge, their architecture reflecting Cornish heritage and adding character to this picturesque setting. The stillness of the water mirrors a sense of calmness that pervades throughout this idyllic landscape. As we gaze upon this historic photograph, we can almost feel ourselves transported into an era where life moved at a slower pace and nature held sway over human endeavors. Hughes' expert composition allows us to appreciate not only the natural beauty but also provides insight into daily life along these shores more than a century ago. This remarkable piece serves as both an artistic masterpiece and valuable historical documentation. As we admire this glimpse into Helford's past, let us be reminded of our connection with nature and how it has shaped our lives through generations.
