EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum showcases a timeless scene of Cape Cornwall in St Just, Penwith. The exact date remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to this picturesque coastal landscape. From a distant vantage point, we are treated to a breathtaking view of Cape Cornwall with its rugged cliffs and rolling hills. In the foreground, our eyes are drawn to Little Bounds on the right side of the frame. Two disused mine engine houses stand as silent reminders of Cornwall's rich mining heritage that once thrived in this region. Nestled amidst these structures are charming domestic dwellings and meticulously maintained gardens, showcasing the resilience and resourcefulness of local communities. The focal point lies on the sandy beach below where seventeen boats rest peacefully upon its shores. These vessels symbolize both livelihoods and leisure activities enjoyed by locals who have long relied on the sea for sustenance and recreation. Although captured by an unknown photographer, this image is part of the esteemed A. K. Hamilton Jenkin collection at Royal Cornwall Museum—a testament to its historical significance within Cornish culture. With its dramatic coastline meeting azure waters, this evocative photograph encapsulates all that makes Cornwall so enchanting—its mining legacy intertwined with natural beauty along its majestic shores.
