EDITORS COMMENTS
Transport yourself back in time to the enchanting woods of Tintagel, Cornwall, on a summer's day in 1905. This print captures the mystical allure of St Knightons Kieve, a place steeped in legend and folklore. Known as the sacred site where men sought knighthood through an arduous journey of purification, this hidden gem beckons us with its ethereal beauty. Immerse yourself in this idyllic scene as you gaze upon a tranquil stream meandering through the lush woodland. The dappled sunlight filters through towering trees, casting mesmerizing patterns on the forest floor. In the foreground stands a solitary figure, perhaps lost in contemplation or drawn by curiosity towards what lies beyond. Photographer Herbert Hughes masterfully captures nature's serene embrace while preserving an air of mystery that surrounds this hallowed ground. As we peer into this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost hear whispers carried by gentle breezes and feel the ancient energy pulsating within these woods. Let your imagination wander along the footpath leading deeper into nature's sanctuary – past rustic gates guarding secrets untold. But remember, it is not just about commercial use; it is about connecting with history and embracing our connection to nature's wonders.
