EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 1880s showcases the breathtaking beauty of Landewednack, Cornwall. The focal point is none other than the majestic Man of War rocks, standing tall and proud against the crashing waves. Hand-coloured to enhance its vibrancy, this view captures the essence of Victorian coastal charm. The Lizard Peninsula serves as a stunning backdrop for this remarkable geological formation. Jutting out into the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean, it offers a dramatic setting that has captivated visitors for centuries. As we gaze at this photograph, we can almost feel the salty sea breeze on our faces and hear the distant cries of seagulls soaring through an endless sky. Although taken by an unknown photographer, William Charles Hughes skillfully transformed this image into a lantern slide in his London studio. His craftsmanship allows us to appreciate every intricate detail - from each individual rock on Man of War to every bird gracefully gliding above. This print transports us back in time to an era when coastal exploration was at its peak. It invites us to immerse ourselves in Cornwall's rich history and marvel at nature's wonders that have stood resilient throughout generations. Let your imagination wander as you envision yourself strolling along these rugged cliffs or perhaps even embarking on a daring adventure across these treacherous waters. Displayed proudly at Royal Cornwall Museum, this piece serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and natural splendor – capturing hearts then just as it does now.
