EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the picturesque St Mawes Harbour in Cornwall during the idyllic month of September 1937. The image, captured as part of a GWR publicity campaign, showcases the charming quayside lined with an array of boats gently bobbing on the tranquil waters. Nestled amidst this scenic backdrop stands the iconic Ship and Castle Hotel, proudly commanding attention with its grandeur. The photograph perfectly encapsulates the essence of a bygone era, transporting us to a simpler time when summer days were spent leisurely exploring quaint coastal towns. The vibrant hues of blue skies and sparkling water evoke a sense of warmth and tranquility that is synonymous with Cornwall's stunning coastline. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost hear the distant laughter and chatter from visitors enjoying their seaside holiday. It serves as a reminder that even decades ago, St Mawes was already renowned for its beauty and charm. This remarkable piece captures not only a moment but also preserves history within its frame. It allows us to appreciate how much has changed over the years while simultaneously recognizing that some things remain timeless – like St Mawes' enduring allure as one of Cornwall's most beloved destinations.
