EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s transports us to Droskyn Beach, Perranporth, in the charming county of Cornwall. As we gaze upon this image captured by Canon Henry Holroyd Mills, it becomes evident that time has not diminished the beauty of this coastal gem. The scene unfolds before our eyes as we look westward over the beach at Droskyn. The vast expanse of golden sand stretches out towards the horizon, inviting visitors to embrace its tranquil allure. A handful of people dotting the shoreline and cliff add a sense of scale to this picturesque landscape. The charm lies not only in nature's splendor but also in observing how fashion has evolved over a century ago. The individuals on the beach are dressed impeccably for their seaside outing - men sporting suits with straw hats while women elegantly don long dresses and wide-brimmed hats. Their attire serves as a reminder of an era when even leisure activities were approached with grace and style. This print is more than just an image; it encapsulates a moment frozen in time, allowing us to appreciate both Cornwall's natural wonders and its rich history. It evokes feelings of nostalgia for simpler times spent by the sea, where one could bask in serenity amidst breathtaking surroundings. As we admire this remarkable piece from Royal Cornwall Museum, let us be transported back to an era when life moved at a slower pace – where sandy beaches met rolling waves under endless blue skies –
