EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1908 transports us to the picturesque Housel Bay Beach in Landewednack, Cornwall. The image captures a timeless scene of coastal beauty and innocence. In the foreground stands a young girl, her skirts held up as she ventures into the crystal-clear waters. With an air of curiosity and wonderment, her gaze is fixed upon Bumble Rock jutting out majestically from the sea. The photographer behind this remarkable composition is Herbert Hughes, whose keen eye for detail has immortalized this moment in time. Hughes skillfully captures not only the natural beauty of Cornwall's rugged coastline but also evokes a sense of tranquility and serenity that resonates with viewers even over a century later. Housel Bay Beach itself boasts stunning rock formations along its shoreline, adding character and charm to this already idyllic location on The Lizard Peninsula. These unique geological features have been shaped by centuries of relentless waves crashing against them, creating dramatic stacks that stand proudly amidst the vastness of the sea. As we admire this extraordinary photograph from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, we are reminded of nature's ability to captivate our senses and transport us through time. It serves as a gentle reminder to cherish moments like these – where simplicity intertwines with grandeur – forever etching themselves into our memories just as they did for that young girl on Housel Bay Beach all those years ago.
