EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s transports us back in time to the picturesque Mounts Bay, Penzance, Cornwall. Taken by the talented photographer Herbert Hughes, this image captures a general view over Mounts Bay from a hill above Penlee, Newlyn. The scene unfolds before our eyes with an abundance of natural beauty and coastal charm. In the foreground, lush Cornish bushes and trees frame the composition, adding depth and texture to the landscape. As we gaze further into the distance, our attention is drawn towards the glistening water that stretches out as far as the eye can see. Dotted across its surface are boats adorned with sails and masts - a testament to Cornwall's rich maritime history. Penzance emerges gracefully in the middle distance, exuding an air of tranquility amidst this idyllic setting. Its quaint architecture blends harmoniously with its surroundings while hinting at a bustling community nestled within. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a window into Cornwall's past. It invites us to imagine ourselves standing on that very hilltop overlooking Mounts Bay - breathing in fresh sea air while taking in all its scenic wonders. Displayed proudly at Royal Cornwall Museum, this photograph offers viewers an opportunity for reflection and appreciation of nature's timeless beauty intertwined with human presence along these historic shores.
