EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the timeless beauty of Cornwall's rugged coastline, this vintage print transports us back to the early 1900s. The image showcases the majestic Sugar Loaf Rock standing tall amidst the breathtaking Kynance Cove in Landewednack. Hand-coloured with meticulous attention to detail, it emanates a sense of tranquility and nostalgia. Belonging to a series produced by W. C. Hughes, an esteemed photographer based in London, this particular slide marked number 19 is a true gem from his collection. The original slide identifies Gadegastal Cove as its location, but we now know it as Kynance Cove - a testament to how landscapes evolve over time. The unknown photographer behind this masterpiece has expertly captured the essence of Cornish charm and allure. As our gaze wanders across the picture-perfect peninsula known as 'the Lizard, ' we can almost feel the salty sea breeze on our faces and hear waves crashing against ancient cliffs. This remarkable print not only serves as a visual delight but also offers us a glimpse into history; reminding us of simpler times when nature's wonders were cherished without distraction. It stands as an ode to Cornwall's natural heritage and invites us to appreciate its unspoiled beauty for generations to come.
