EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 1900s, showcasing the picturesque St Michaels Mount in all its glory. Nestled on the enchanting Mounts Bay coastline of Cornwall, this hand coloured glass lantern slide captures the essence of this remarkable island and its surrounding beauty. St Michaels Mount stands as a testament to both history and nature's grandeur. Managed by the National Trust, it has been lovingly preserved for generations to come. The castle perched atop the mount has been home to the esteemed St Aubyn family since the 1650s, adding an air of stately elegance to this coastal gem. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported into a world where time seems suspended. The vibrant hues meticulously applied by William Charles Hughes bring life to every detail - from the rolling waves crashing against rocky cliffs to quaint village houses nestled at its base. The sense of community is palpable; one can almost hear laughter echoing through narrow streets and imagine fishermen returning with their daily catch. This snapshot encapsulates not only a place but also a way of life that has stood strong for centuries. Let us cherish this glimpse into Cornwall's past, appreciating how nature and human endeavor have intertwined harmoniously on this Cornish island. May it inspire us to protect our heritage and treasure these timeless landscapes for future generations.
