EDITORS COMMENTS
Transporting us back in time to the picturesque coastal beauty of Cornwall, this print captures a serene moment at Watergate Bay near Zachrys Island in St Columb Minor. Taken in June 1909 by renowned photographer Herbert Hughes, the image showcases a group of photographers gathered on the sandy beach, their cameras poised to capture the essence of this idyllic location. The scene exudes tranquility as gentle waves caress the shore and sunlight dances upon the water's surface. The rugged cliffs that frame the bay stand tall and proud, providing a dramatic backdrop for this timeless snapshot. One can almost feel the cool sea breeze and hear seagulls calling overhead. Watergate Bay itself is an enchanting stretch of coastline that has long been cherished by locals and visitors alike. Its pristine sands invite leisurely strolls along its shores or moments of relaxation basking under sunny skies. Nestled nearby is Zachrys Island, adding an air of mystery to an already breathtaking vista. This remarkable print from Royal Cornwall Museum not only preserves a glimpse into our past but also serves as a testament to Cornwall's enduring allure. It transports us back over a century ago when photography was still in its infancy but had already captured hearts with its ability to freeze fleeting moments forever. As we admire this historical gem, let it remind us of nature's timeless beauty and inspire us to cherish our own treasured memories amidst Cornwall's stunning landscapes.
