EDITORS COMMENTS
Transporting us back in time to the idyllic summer of 1913, this print captures the essence of leisurely days at Crackington Haven, Cornwall. As our gaze is drawn towards the horizon, we are greeted by a breathtaking view of this picturesque coastal haven looking north. The rugged cliffs stand tall and proud, providing a dramatic backdrop to the scene unfolding below. Intriguingly, amidst the tranquil waters lie children joyfully exploring rock pools and paddling in the gentle waves. Their laughter fills the air as they embark on their shrimping adventures, eagerly searching for hidden treasures beneath these ancient rocks. It's a heartwarming reminder of simpler times when nature's playground was enough to captivate young imaginations. The photographer behind this remarkable snapshot is none other than Herbert Hughes, whose keen eye has immortalized this moment forever. Through his lens, he effortlessly transports us into an era where life moved at a slower pace and simple pleasures were cherished. This evocative image from Royal Cornwall Museum serves as both a nostalgic tribute to Crackington Haven's timeless beauty and an invitation for us to pause and appreciate its enduring charm. Let it transport you back in time as you imagine yourself strolling along that very foreshore or perhaps joining those carefree children in their seaside escapades.
