EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to the early 1900s, capturing a serene moment on "The Promenade" in Penzance, Cornwall. The hand-coloured slide beautifully enhances the scene, adding vibrancy and depth to an already picturesque view. In this snapshot of history, we find ourselves standing on the nearly deserted esplanade, gazing eastwards towards the magnificent Church of St Mary the Virgin. The church's towering spire stands tall against a clear blue sky, serving as a beacon of faith for locals and visitors alike. As we take in this peaceful sight, it is impossible not to be transported into another era. The absence of bustling crowds allows us to appreciate the tranquility that once enveloped this coastal town. We can almost hear the gentle lapping of waves against nearby boats and feel a refreshing sea breeze brushing against our faces. The photographer behind this remarkable image remains unknown; however, their skillful composition has immortalized Penzance's charm for generations to come. Through their lens and W. C Hughes' deft hand at colouring slides, they have captured both its architectural beauty and natural splendor with great finesse. This print serves as a testament to Cornwall's rich heritage and invites us all to explore its past through visual storytelling. It reminds us that even amidst change and progress, there will always be moments frozen in time where we can connect with our roots and appreciate the simple joys found within our own communities
