EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1909, capturing the serene beauty of Porthluney beach in St Michael Caerhays, Cornwall. The image showcases a man donning a hat and overcoat, believed to be photographer Herbert Hughes himself, standing on the sandy shore by a gentle stream. His gaze is fixed upon the majestic rocks that adorn this picturesque coastline. Titled "Napoleon on Porthluney Beach" this photograph offers a glimpse into an era long past. The beach itself forms part of the renowned Caerhays estate, with its sprawling grounds and enchanting gardens providing a stunning backdrop for visitors to enjoy. As we peer at this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost feel ourselves transported to that very moment when T. Mitchell expertly captured this scene. The coastal charm of South Cornwall is evident in every detail of this image – from the rugged cliffs that embrace Gerrans Bay to the inviting cove where sand meets sea. It serves as a reminder of why Cornwall's coastline has long been treasured by locals and tourists alike. As we admire this historical gem from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its ability to transport us back through time. This remarkable piece allows us to witness nature's grandeur while offering glimpses into life during an era gone by - all within one frame.
