EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print from 1897, showcasing the idyllic Church Cove in Landewednack, Cornwall. Transport yourself to an era when thatched cottages dotted the landscape and steamships ruled the seas. From a vantage point above Church Cove, one can marvel at the breathtaking view as it extends down to the glistening sea below. In this snapshot of history, we catch a glimpse of the steamship/tug Victor from Falmouth gracefully navigating its way close to shore. The presence of this vessel adds a touch of intrigue and adventure to an already picturesque scene. It serves as a reminder of Cornwall's rich maritime heritage and its vital role in connecting coastal communities. Photographer Herbert Hughes has masterfully captured every detail, allowing us to appreciate both the architectural beauty of these traditional Cornish cottages and their harmonious coexistence with nature. The thatched roofs blend seamlessly into the surrounding countryside, creating a truly enchanting sight. This image transports us directly into Victorian times on Cornwall's stunning Lizard Peninsula. It invites us to explore not only its visual splendor but also its historical significance. As you immerse yourself in this photograph, let your imagination wander through time and envision life as it once was in this charming corner of England's southwestern coast.
