EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to the picturesque village of St Mawes, Cornwall on a sunny day in June 1912. The image beautifully captures two slate roofed cottages nestled amidst the charming coastal scenery. With steps leading up to their entrance doors high above the road, these cottages exude an air of quaintness and tranquility. Adjacent to these delightful dwellings stands the Rising Sun building, adding another layer of character to this idyllic scene. As we observe closely, a man can be seen standing on one of the steps, his gaze fixed upon a young girl who is pulling a large basket on a hand cart. It's as if he is captivated by her presence or perhaps simply enjoying observing everyday life unfold before him. The photographer behind this remarkable snapshot is Herbert Hughes, whose keen eye for detail has immortalized this moment in history. The print bears stamps from J. C Burrows but it's important to note that this mention does not imply any commercial use. Through this photograph, we are transported back over a century ago and given a glimpse into the simplicity and charm of life in St Mawes during that era. It serves as both an invaluable historical document and an evocative piece of art capturing timeless beauty within its frame.
