EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1908 transports us to the mesmerizing Polpeor Cove, nestled in the picturesque Landewednack region of Cornwall. The image captures a breathtaking view of the rugged rocks that dot the beach, stretching out into the vast expanse of the sea. As our gaze extends towards the horizon, we are greeted by an unexpected sight - a majestic full square rigged ship gracefully passing by. Its presence adds a touch of nostalgia and wonder to this already enchanting scene. The photographer behind this remarkable composition is Herbert Hughes, whose keen eye for detail has immortalized this moment in time. Through his lens, he has beautifully captured both the tranquility and power of nature along Cornwall's coastal peninsula. This photograph not only showcases Cornwall's natural beauty but also hints at its rich maritime history. It serves as a reminder of how vital navigation and shipping were to this region's economy and transport systems during that era. As we admire this stunning snapshot from over a century ago, let us be transported back in time to an era when these waters were bustling with ships like these - symbols of exploration, trade, and adventure on high seas.
