EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to the early to mid-1900s, capturing a serene moment at "The Bathing Pool" in Porthtowan, Cornwall. The Victorian tidal pool stands proudly against the rugged Cornish coastline, its stone walls weathered by years of crashing waves. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see bathers enjoying a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear seawater. Their vintage bathing costumes evoke an air of nostalgia as they elegantly navigate through the gentle ripples. Laughter and joy fill the air as friends and families relish their seaside escape. The photographer remains unknown, but their skillful composition transports us directly into this idyllic scene. The image beautifully captures both the tranquility of nature and human connection with it. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with coastal beauty and our desire for respite amidst life's chaos. As we gaze upon this historic photograph, we are reminded that even though times change, some things remain constant – like our love affair with Cornwall's breathtaking coastlines and its timeless allure. This print is not just a window into history; it is an invitation to immerse ourselves in an era where simplicity reigned supreme and nature was cherished above all else.
