EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print of Towan Island, Newquay, Cornwall taken in the early 1900s. Immerse yourself in the picturesque scene as you gaze towards the Headland and The Headland Hotel from a cliff top near the island. Renowned photographer Arthur Philp skillfully captures every detail, transporting us to an era long gone. The rugged Cornish landscape takes center stage, adorned with magnificent rocks that stand proudly against the crashing waves below. A quaint bridge gracefully spans across a narrow channel, connecting mainland Cornwall to Towan Island. Its weathered appearance tells tales of countless footsteps traversing its path over time. Nestled amidst this natural beauty are charming buildings that dot the coastline, adding a touch of human presence to this idyllic setting. The historic harbour silently witnesses fishermen's daily routines and echoes stories of seafaring adventures. As your eyes wander further into the distance, a majestic suspension bridge emerges on the horizon—a testament to engineering marvels of its time—symbolizing progress and connectivity between land and sea. This remarkable print not only captures a moment frozen in history but also invites contemplation about our ever-changing world. It serves as a reminder of Cornwall's timeless allure and showcases how nature seamlessly intertwines with man-made structures along its breathtaking coastline.
