EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the serene beauty of Penpol Creek, Crantock, Cornwall in 1910. The lens of photographer Herbert Hughes has perfectly captured a moment at low tide, revealing a breathtaking view towards the southwest side of the Gannel. The image transports us to an era when life moved at a slower pace and nature's wonders were cherished. As we gaze upon this scene, we are immediately struck by the tranquility that emanates from every corner. The stillness of the water mirrors the clear blue sky above, creating a seamless blend between earth and sky. In the foreground, we see lush greenery gracefully framing both sides of Penpol Creek. The vibrant foliage adds depth and character to this picturesque landscape while hinting at Cornwall's rich natural heritage. Beyond lies an expanse of sandbanks gently emerging from beneath crystal-clear waters—a sight that would surely entice any explorer or artist seeking inspiration. As our eyes wander further into the distance, we catch glimpses of boats resting on dry land during low tide—an indication that this estuary was once bustling with maritime activities. It is as if time stands still within this frame; one can almost hear echoes of laughter and voices carried by gentle sea breezes. This remarkable print serves as a testament to Cornwall's timeless allure—a place where history intertwines seamlessly with nature's grandeur. It invites us to reflect on our connection with these ancient landscapes and appreciate their enduring beauty for generations to come.
