EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the essence of Victorian Cornwall, this print transports us back to the year 1897. The image showcases a breathtaking view from Enys Head towards Bass Point in Ruan Minor, Cornwall. As our gaze follows the rugged coastline of the Lizard Peninsula, we are greeted by an idyllic scene that has remained unchanged for centuries. The photographer's identity may be unknown, but their skill is evident in every detail captured within this frame. The composition draws our attention to the vast expanse of sea meeting land, where waves crash against ancient cliffs with unyielding force. In the distance, a small fishing boat gracefully navigates through these treacherous waters, reminding us of Cornwall's deep-rooted maritime heritage. The charm and tranquility emanating from this photograph evoke a sense of nostalgia for simpler times. It invites us to imagine ourselves standing on Enys Head over a century ago, breathing in the salty air and feeling connected to nature's raw beauty. This snapshot encapsulates not only a specific moment frozen in time but also an entire era characterized by its distinctive Victorian aesthetic. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's archives, this remarkable piece offers a glimpse into history while honoring Cornwall's rich cultural heritage.
