EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1912 showcases the picturesque waterfront of Flushing, Cornwall. The scene is alive with the essence of a bygone era, where quaint Cornish houses line the shore and boats gently sway in the calm waters. The image transports us to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and simplicity reigned supreme. In this snapshot frozen in time, three older men can be seen observing the photographer from a weathered bench. Their presence adds an intriguing layer to the composition, as their expressions hint at stories untold and wisdom accumulated over years spent by these very shores. The photographer behind this remarkable capture is none other than Herbert Hughes, whose keen eye for detail effortlessly brings forth every nuance of this idyllic coastal village. Through his lens, we are granted access to an intimate glimpse into Flushing's past—a moment forever preserved on paper. As we immerse ourselves in this enchanting photograph, we find ourselves yearning for simpler times—times when communities thrived along tranquil waterfronts like Flushings'. It serves as a reminder that amidst our fast-paced modern lives, there is beauty in embracing moments of stillness and cherishing our connection with nature. This print from Royal Cornwall Museum encapsulates not just cornish architecture or boats adorning its waters but also evokes nostalgia for days gone by—an invitation to explore history through imagery while appreciating the timeless allure of coastal living.
