EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1908 transports us back in time to the mesmerizing coastal beauty of Black Head, St Keverne, Cornwall. Taken by the talented photographer Herbert Hughes, this image showcases a breathtaking view of Black Head as seen from Pedn Boar. The rugged cliffs and rolling hills provide a dramatic backdrop for the scene that unfolds before our eyes. In this snapshot of maritime history, we witness three majestic twin-masted ships gracefully navigating through The Channel just off the point. Their sails billow in the wind as they make their way towards distant horizons. The sight is truly awe-inspiring and speaks volumes about Cornwall's rich seafaring heritage. The presence of these topsail schooners reminds us of an era when shipping played a vital role in connecting communities and facilitating trade across vast oceans. It serves as a testament to the resilience and skill of sailors who braved treacherous waters on these magnificent vessels. Situated on the Lizard Peninsula, Black Head stands tall with its sheer cliffs overlooking the sea below. This photograph captures not only its natural grandeur but also offers a glimpse into daily life during early 20th-century Cornwall. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's archives, this remarkable print allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind Hughes' work and provides valuable insights into Cornish history. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate viewers today, offering an enchanting window into a bygone era where sailing ships ruled these waters with grace and majesty
