EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1898 takes us back in time to Lamorna Cove, a picturesque coastal gem nestled in St Buryan, Cornwall. The Victorian era charm is palpable as we are transported to an idyllic scene of tranquility and simplicity. Two charming cottages stand proudly on the rugged cliffs, their stone walls weathered by the salty sea breeze over the years. As our gaze extends towards the horizon, we are greeted by a breathtaking view of the vast ocean stretching out before us. Two small boats gently bob in the calm bay, their presence adding a touch of maritime livelihood to this serene landscape. It's easy to imagine local fishermen setting sail at dawn or returning with their catch as they navigate these crystal-clear waters. The photographer behind this remarkable image is Herbert Hughes, whose keen eye for detail has beautifully captured every nuance of this Cornish paradise. His composition effortlessly draws our attention to both architectural beauty and natural splendor. This print serves not only as a visual delight but also as a testament to Cornwall's rich history and heritage. It invites us to appreciate the simpler times when life was intimately intertwined with nature's rhythm and where Lamorna Cove stood as an emblematic symbol of coastal living. Displayed within Royal Cornwall Museum, this piece offers visitors an opportunity to immerse themselves in Cornwall's past while marveling at its timeless beauty – a true treasure that transcends generations.
