EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1911 transports us back in time to the picturesque Pendour Cove, Zennor, Cornwall. The photographer, Herbert Hughes, skillfully captures the essence of this idyllic coastal scene with its breathtaking views towards Gurnards Head. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are immediately drawn to a group of figures perched on rocks in the foreground. It is evident that this particular day was sweltering hot as every man present has resorted to using their handkerchiefs as makeshift head coverings. Their attire and body language suggest they are taking respite from the scorching sun while enjoying the beauty surrounding them. The men's presence adds a sense of scale and human connection to an otherwise serene landscape. The Victorian era charm is palpable throughout this photograph; it encapsulates both the natural splendor of Cornwall and hints at a simpler way of life during that period. This print serves as a window into history, allowing us to appreciate how people sought solace amidst nature's wonders even over a century ago. Preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum, this remarkable piece offers viewers an opportunity for reflection and appreciation for our rich cultural heritage. It reminds us that despite technological advancements and societal changes since then, there remains an enduring allure in capturing moments like these - where humans find harmony within nature's embrace.
