EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 1900s, capturing a general view of Perranzabuloe, Perranporth, Cornwall. The image showcases a picturesque town nestled alongside a pristine beach, with its gaze fixed upon the vastness of the sea. It is as if time has stood still in this moment frozen by photographer Arthur William Jordan. In the foreground, two diligent men can be seen diligently working on what appears to be a building site. Their presence adds an element of human activity amidst the tranquility that surrounds them. They symbolize progress and development against the backdrop of nature's beauty. The composition exudes an air of serenity and simplicity - characteristic traits often associated with Cornish landscapes. The rugged cliffs stand tall behind rows of charming houses lining narrow streets leading towards the shore. One cannot help but imagine how life must have been during those simpler times; when fishing boats dotted the horizon and children played freely on sandy beaches. This remarkable photograph serves as both a historical document and an evocative piece of artistry. Preserved within its frame are not just buildings or scenery but also stories waiting to be discovered by those who take a closer look. As we gaze upon this snapshot from yesteryears, we are transported back to an era where life moved at its own pace - where man coexisted harmoniously with nature in this idyllic corner of Cornwall called Perranzabuloe.
