EDITORS COMMENTS
St. Michaels Mount: A Cornish Masterpiece by Lieutenant Ernest Stafford Carlos Nestled in the English Channel off the coast of Cornwall lies the enchanting St. Michaels Mount, a small tidal island renowned for its picturesque village, ancient harbor, and imposing castle. In this stunning topographical painting by Lieutenant Ernest Stafford Carlos, we are transported back in time to a moment when the island's beauty was unmarred by modern development. Carlos, a member of the 8th Battalion Royal East Kents, captured the essence of this Cornish landmark with remarkable detail and precision. The island's lush greenery, dotted with quaint cottages, contrasts dramatically with the rugged cliffs and the tranquil waters of the harbor. The castle, perched atop the island, stands proudly, its ancient walls and towers reflecting the rich history of this remarkable place. Sadly, Carlos's life was cut short during the First World War. He was killed by shellfire in Battle Wood, Zillebeke, on the evening of 14 June 1917 while leading his platoon in an attack. His body now lies in the Chester Farm Cemetery, Zillebeke. This poignant reminder of the human cost of war adds an emotional depth to this beautiful work of art. The painting, a testament to Carlos's artistic talent, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to imagine the daily life of the island's residents and the stories that unfolded on its shores. St. Michaels Mount remains a cherished symbol of Cornwall's rich heritage and a reminder of the beauty that can be found in the natural world.
