EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1899 transports us back in time to the breathtaking Polurrian, Mullion in Cornwall. The image showcases the mesmerizing view of Cathedral Rock and the stunning coastline stretching towards Poldhu. In the foreground, two men are seated, believed to be part of the photographic party that captured this remarkable moment. The rugged beauty of Cornwall's south coast is on full display as towering cliffs meet the vast expanse of crystal-clear sea. The jagged rocks scattered along the shoreline add a sense of drama to this picturesque scene. Nestled within this coastal wonderland lies a hidden cove, inviting visitors to explore its secrets. In the distance stands Poldhu Hotel, an elegant structure that adds charm and character to this already enchanting landscape. Its presence serves as a reminder of human civilization harmoniously coexisting with nature's grandeur. Photographer Herbert Hughes skillfully captures every detail in this timeless photograph, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance. As we gaze upon it today at Royal Cornwall Museum, we can't help but feel connected to those who stood before these very cliffs over a century ago. This image encapsulates all that makes Cornwall so special – its dramatic cliffs, endless sea views, and untouched natural beauty found along the Lizard Peninsula's coastline. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with capturing moments frozen in time while celebrating our deep connection with such awe-inspiring landscapes.
