EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, captured in 1912 by the talented photographer Herbert Hughes, we are transported to the serene coastal village of Durgan in Mawnan, Cornwall. The image showcases a breathtaking view of a majestic cliff overlooking the crystal-clear waters of the Helford River. Nestled at the foot of this towering natural wonder, a cluster of small boats gently sway with the ebb and flow of the tide. The scene exudes tranquility and captures a moment frozen in time - an idyllic snapshot that encapsulates both the beauty and simplicity of life on Cornwall's shores over a century ago. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we can almost feel ourselves immersed in its peaceful ambiance. Hughes' keen eye for detail is evident as he expertly frames each element within his composition. The rugged cliffs stand tall against an endless sky while their reflection dances gracefully upon the calm waters below. The small boats dotting the shoreline add a touch of human presence amidst nature's grandeur. This print from Royal Cornwall Museum serves as not only a visual delight but also as an invaluable historical artifact. It allows us to glimpse into Cornwall's past, reminding us that despite changing times and modernization, there will always be timeless beauty found within its landscapes - forever etched in photographs like these for generations to come.
