EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1907 transports us to the mesmerizing cliffs at Porthcothan, St Merryn, Cornwall. The image showcases a breathtaking view along the rugged North Cornwall coastline, where nature's raw beauty meets the vastness of the sea. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see a photographer fearlessly positioned on the edge of the cliff with his trusty tripod, capturing this awe-inspiring scene for eternity. Beside him sits another man who appears engrossed in reading, seemingly undisturbed by their precarious location. Perhaps he is taking advantage of this serene moment to immerse himself in literature or simply contemplating life amidst such an extraordinary backdrop. The photograph perfectly encapsulates the essence of Cornwall - its wild and untamed coastal landscapes that have long captivated artists and visitors alike. The rocky shoreline creates a dramatic contrast against the calm bay below, inviting our eyes to wander across every contour and crevice carved by centuries of relentless waves. Titled "Cliffs at Porthcothan" this remarkable piece was captured by T. Mitchell over a century ago but continues to evoke wonder and admiration today. It serves as a testament to both human curiosity and our deep connection with nature's grandeur
