EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the stunning Fistral Beach in Newquay, Cornwall, in the year 1927. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly The Headland hotel, a magnificent building that first opened its doors to guests in 1900. This iconic hotel has not only stood as a landmark for over a century but also served as the filming location for the adaptation of Roald Dahl's beloved book "The Witches" in 1987. As we gaze at this sepia-toned snapshot, we are transported to an era when beachgoers sought solace on sandy shores. The sand dunes gracefully frame the beach, creating a picturesque backdrop against which tents and changing huts dot the landscape. It is fascinating to witness how Fistral Beach has evolved throughout time while still maintaining its natural beauty and charm. This photograph captures both the essence of early twentieth-century England and the timeless allure of seaside destinations. With its monochrome aesthetic, it exudes nostalgia and invites us to reflect upon simpler times spent by the sea. As we admire this piece from The Print Collector collection, let us appreciate not only its historical significance but also how it encapsulates a moment frozen in time – forever preserving Fistral Beach's unique character within our collective memory.
