EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the early 1900s, we are transported to the picturesque village of Flushing in Cornwall. The image captures a serene moment at low tide, where a man stands on the quay inspecting the hull of a small sailing vessel. His presence adds a human touch to an otherwise tranquil scene. The waterfront housing that lines the quay is also visible, showcasing traditional Cornish architecture with its charming stone cottages and colorful facades. These houses stand as silent witnesses to generations past, each holding stories and memories within their walls. As our gaze extends beyond the quay, we catch sight of other boats gently swaying in harmony with the calm waters. Their sails gracefully billow against a backdrop of clear blue skies, hinting at adventures yet to be embarked upon. Photographer Arthur Philp has masterfully captured this idyllic moment in time—a snapshot that encapsulates both the beauty and simplicity of life in this quaint coastal village. It serves as a reminder of Cornwall's rich maritime heritage and its deep connection to seafaring traditions. This print from Royal Cornwall Museum transports us back to an era when time seemed slower and communities thrived on close-knit bonds. It invites us to immerse ourselves in Flushing's timeless charm—where land meets sea—and appreciate the simple pleasures found within such picturesque surroundings.
