EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting St Michael's Mount in Penzance, Cornwall, during the vibrant 1920s. The image is a timeless illustration sourced from a souvenir booklet created by the Great Western Railway (GWR) specifically for the momentous 1924 British Empire Exhibition. As we gaze upon this picturesque scene, we are transported to an era of grandeur and exploration. St Michael's Mount stands majestically against a backdrop of azure skies and sparkling waters, its ancient stone walls seemingly whispering tales of centuries past. The mount itself exudes an air of mystery and allure with its medieval castle perched atop, evoking images of knights and chivalry. This iconic landmark has long been a symbol of Cornish heritage and resilience. The GWR's inclusion of this stunning illustration in their promotional material speaks volumes about the significance and popularity that St Michael's Mount held even then. It serves as a testament to the enduring appeal that draws visitors from far and wide to this day. As we admire this vintage print at STEAM Museum, it not only captures our imagination but also reminds us of how art can transport us through time. Let it inspire you to embark on your own journey into history or perhaps plan your next adventure to experience firsthand the beauty that captivated so many nearly a century ago.
