EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s showcases a mixed group of individuals, presumably on a church outing near the picturesque St Buryan coast in Cornwall. Amongst them sits Reverend J. W. Hardcastle, positioned at the far right of the image. The photograph provides an intriguing glimpse into both social dynamics and fashion trends of that era. What truly stands out in this snapshot is the impeccable representation of women's hat fashion during the late Victorian or Edwardian period. Each lady dons an exquisite headpiece, showcasing their individual style and elegance. These hats were undoubtedly crafted with great care and attention to detail, reflecting the refined tastes prevalent during this time. The scenic backdrop further enhances this historical moment captured by an unknown photographer. The rugged beauty of Cornwall's coastline near Lands End serves as a reminder of nature's grandeur juxtaposed against human presence. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's archives, this print offers us a window into a bygone era - one where community outings held significant importance for spiritual nourishment and social bonding. It encapsulates not only personal memories but also broader cultural shifts occurring during that period. As we delve into its details, let our imaginations wander back to those days when people gathered together on such occasions, cherishing moments filled with laughter and camaraderie amidst stunning coastal landscapes like St Buryan in Cornwall.
