EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Donald McCulloch showcases the haunting beauty of a disused arsenic calciner in St Agnes, Cornwall. The image transports us to a time when this industrial structure played a vital role in the region's history. Standing proudly against the rugged coastal backdrop, it serves as a poignant reminder of Cornwall's rich industrial heritage. The composition captures the essence of both rural and coastal landscapes, merging them seamlessly into one frame. The calciner stands as an imposing ruin amidst scattered rubble, evoking a sense of melancholy and nostalgia for days gone by. Its weathered exterior tells tales of countless years battling against the elements, while its architectural details hint at its former grandeur. Listed as an important historic site (IoE 63885), this photograph not only documents but also immortalizes this significant piece of Cornwall's past. It invites viewers to reflect on how industry has shaped our world and reminds us that even seemingly forgotten structures can hold immense cultural value. McCulloch's skillful capture expertly frames the calciner against the vastness of the sea, emphasizing its isolation and creating a striking visual contrast between man-made creation and nature's relentless power. This juxtaposition prompts contemplation about humanity's impact on our environment throughout history. In summary, McCulloch's print encapsulates both beauty and decay within one frame – showcasing an abandoned relic that still manages to captivate with its picturesque allure along Cornwall’s stunning coastlines
