EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1907 showcases the majestic Tintagel castle ruins in Cornwall, a sight that has stood the test of time. The remnants of ancient castle walls are beautifully captured, evoking a sense of mystery and grandeur. As we gaze upon this historical marvel, our eyes are drawn to an unexpected scene unfolding in the foreground - a flock of sheep at rest. Intriguingly juxtaposed against the rugged stone remains, these gentle creatures bring life and tranquility to this timeless landscape. Their presence reminds us that nature's harmony can persist even amidst human endeavors long forgotten. Photographer Herbert Hughes skillfully captures this serene moment, allowing us to immerse ourselves in both the rich history and peaceful ambiance surrounding Tintagel. The image transports us back over a century ago when visitors would have marveled at these very same ruins. It invites contemplation about those who once inhabited these walls and walked its corridors with purpose or sought refuge within its protective embrace. Preserved by the Royal Cornwall Museum, this print serves as a window into another era - one where castles reigned supreme and sheep roamed freely among their crumbling fortifications. It is a testament to our enduring fascination with history and our desire to connect with places steeped in legend. As we admire this photograph today, let it serve as an invitation for exploration - not only of Tintagel's past but also of our own curiosity about times gone by.
