EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s showcases the majestic Tintagel Castle, nestled in Cornwall. The remnants of this ancient castle stand proudly on the mainland, gazing towards the enchanting island that holds countless tales and mysteries within its rugged cliffs. As we delve into this mesmerizing image, our eyes are immediately drawn to a photographer diligently capturing this timeless scene. The identity of this skilled artist remains unknown, but their presence is immortalized in the foreground. With a sturdy tripod supporting their camera, they meticulously compose their shot, ensuring every detail is captured with precision. Perhaps they were captivated by Tintagel's ethereal beauty or sought to preserve its historical significance for generations to come. Tintagel Castle itself exudes an aura of grandeur and intrigue. Its weathered stone walls bear witness to centuries of history and legends associated with King Arthur and his knights. This photograph transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine what life might have been like during those early years of the 20th century when visitors explored these ruins. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from the Royal Cornwall Museum collection, we can't help but feel a sense of wonderment at both the natural beauty surrounding Tintagel Castle and the skillful artistry employed by an anonymous photographer long ago. It serves as a poignant reminder that even though time may pass and names may be forgotten, images such as these continue to connect us with our rich heritage and ignite our imagination.
