St Michaels Mount, c1880 - A Glimpse into Cornwall's Enchanting History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the late 19th century, offering a mesmerizing view of St Michaels Mount. Nestled off the coast of Cornwall, this small tidal island holds centuries of history within its monastic buildings that trace their origins back to the 12th century. The unknown creator skillfully captures the essence of this picturesque location. The image showcases the island's rocky exterior rising majestically from the calm waters of Mounts Bay. Boats dotting the bay add a touch of life and movement to an otherwise tranquil scene. Originally featured as a frontispiece in Reverend Francis Orpen Morris' renowned publication "A Series of Picturesque Views" this engraving beautifully portrays St Michaels Mount in all its glory. The vibrant colors bring out every detail, immersing viewers in its natural beauty. Colonel John St Aubyn purchased this remarkable island in 1659, marking a significant turning point in its history. Today, it stands as a testament to both nature's grandeur and human resilience throughout time. As we gaze upon this stunning print, we are transported back to an era when boats were essential for transportation across these coastal waters. This image serves as a reminder not only of Cornwall's rich heritage but also our enduring connection with water transport and exploration. With each glance at this remarkable piece from William Mackenzie's collection, we can't help but be captivated by St Michaels Mount—a true gem on England's southern shores.
