EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from August 1913, we are transported back in time to Newquay Harbour in Cornwall. The image showcases Jill Trounson, sister of Jack Trounson, as she gazes through a G. W. R. lifebelt with an air of curiosity and wonderment. Her youthful innocence is beautifully captured against the backdrop of Newquay town and Towan beach, with the majestic Island looming in the distance. This stereoscopic view not only offers a glimpse into the Trounson family's personal collection but also provides us with a snapshot of coastal life during that era. It reminds us of the timeless allure and charm that has drawn generations to Cornwall's picturesque shores. The presence of the lifebelt serves as a poignant reminder of the importance placed on safety amidst seaside adventures. As children frolic along Cornish beaches, their parents can find solace knowing that rescue measures are readily available should any mishaps occur at sea. Photographed by an unknown artist, this historical gem captures both the tranquility and excitement synonymous with coastal living. It invites viewers to immerse themselves in an era where simplicity reigned supreme and nature was revered for its beauty and power. Part of Royal Cornwall Museum's extensive collection, this print encapsulates cherished memories while preserving invaluable glimpses into our shared past. It stands as a testament to our enduring fascination with coastal landscapes and acts as a visual time capsule connecting us to those who came before us.
