EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1904 showcases the picturesque Pont Pill in Lanteglos by Fowey, Cornwall. The scene captures the essence of this idyllic coastal region on the south coast of England. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are drawn to the footbridge stretching across the creek, with Pont Quay Cottage nestled on its left side. Within this snapshot frozen in time, three figures come into view. A man skillfully maneuvers a rowing boat through the gentle waters, adding a touch of tranquility to the scene. Nearby stands a photographer intently focused on his craft, adjusting his camera and tripod to capture nature's beauty at its finest. It is as if he seeks to immortalize this breathtaking moment for future generations. Intriguingly, another figure can be seen shoveling nearby - perhaps engaged in some form of work or maintenance along these tidal rivers that weave through cornish farmlands. This glimpse into everyday life adds depth and authenticity to an already enchanting composition. The Royal Cornwall Museum has preserved this remarkable piece of history for us all to appreciate today. Through it, we are transported back over a century ago when life was simpler and nature reigned supreme along these serene quays and riverbanks
