EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the mesmerizing coastal landscape of Carn Boscawen, St Buryan in Cornwall during the 1890s. The image captures a breathtaking view from atop the cliffs, showcasing the raw beauty and ruggedness of this Cornish gem. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we are transported to an era when Victorian and Edwardian influences shaped society. The photographer, J. Valentine, skillfully frames the composition to emphasize both the grandeur of nature and man's insignificance against its vastness. The dramatic cliffs stand tall and proud as they meet with crashing waves below, creating a symphony of sound that echoes through our imagination. Cornwall's unique charm is evident in every detail; from the lush greenery clinging onto rocky ledges to the wildflowers dotting the cliffside meadows. This snapshot encapsulates not just a place but also an atmosphere - one filled with tranquility yet tinged with untamed energy. As we immerse ourselves in this historical moment captured on film, it is important to appreciate its significance beyond commercial use. This photograph serves as a testament to human curiosity and admiration for natural wonders long before social media or mass tourism existed. Let this evocative print transport you back in time and inspire awe for Cornwall's timeless beauty – an enduring reminder that some treasures can only be truly appreciated when preserved through artful lenses like J. Valentine's lens at Royal Cornwall Museum
