EDITORS COMMENTS
Transporting us back in time to the serene beauty of Cornwall's coastline, this print captures a moment frozen in history. Taken in June 1909 by the talented photographer T. Mitchell, we are transported to Watergate Bay, St Columb Minor, where a lone figure stands on the sandy beach gazing towards the north from Zachrys Island. The vast expanse of golden sand stretches out before him, meeting the azure waters that gently lap at its edge. In the distance lies Newquay, a picturesque town nestled along Cornwall's rugged coast. Its charming buildings and bustling harbor provide a stark contrast against nature's raw beauty showcased here. The man on the beach appears lost in contemplation as he takes in this breathtaking vista – perhaps reflecting upon life's mysteries or simply enjoying a peaceful moment amidst nature's grandeur. This print not only offers an enchanting glimpse into early 20th-century coastal life but also serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with Cornwall's stunning landscapes. It reminds us of our connection to both past and present generations who have been captivated by these shores for centuries. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum’s collection, this image is more than just an artifact; it is an invitation to immerse ourselves in the rich tapestry of Cornish history and appreciate its timeless allure.
