EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the early 1900s, we are transported back in time to Lands End, Sennen, Cornwall. The image captures a charismatic character standing on a cliff top, surrounded by an array of postcards and serpentine trinkets for sale. With his infectious smile and lively demeanor, he entices passersby to explore the treasures of this stunning coastal region. As our eyes wander beyond the vendor's vibrant display, we catch sight of the magnificent Longships lighthouse towering proudly in the background. Its stoic presence serves as a reminder of both safety and adventure that awaits those who venture further into these Cornish waters. The photographer behind this remarkable snapshot remains unknown; however, their ability to capture not only the scene but also its essence is undeniable. Through their lens, they have immortalized a moment frozen in time—a glimpse into an era where commerce met natural beauty at one of England's most iconic landmarks. This photograph is more than just an archival piece; it evokes nostalgia and curiosity about what life was like during those early days at Lands End. It invites us to imagine ourselves strolling along that very cliff top—feeling the salty breeze against our skin while exploring all that Cornwall has to offer. Displayed within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this image serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and nature's grandeur—an enduring reminder of how history intertwines with breathtaking landscapes along Britain's southwestern coast.
