EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Coombe or Cleeve Valley in Morwenstow, Cornwall. Dated 1913, it offers a glimpse into the rural beauty of this coastal region. The focal point of the image is a charming partially thatched cottage nestled amidst nature's embrace near Stowe. Its rustic charm is accentuated by several chimneys rising gracefully from its roof, hinting at a cozy hearth within. As we gaze upon this scene, our eyes are drawn down the valley, where rolling hills meet with dramatic cliffs and crashing waves along the Cornish coast. The photographer behind this remarkable composition is Herbert Hughes, whose keen eye for detail has immortalized this picturesque moment in time. The image evokes a sense of tranquility and simplicity; it transports us to an era when life moved at a slower pace and nature played an integral role in everyday existence. It invites us to imagine what life might have been like for those who called this idyllic corner of Cornwall home over a century ago. With its timeless appeal and inherent beauty, this print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical artifact—a testament to Cornwall's enduring allure. Whether you're captivated by its cornish charm or fascinated by coastal landscapes, this stunning visual treasure promises to transport you on a journey through time without ever leaving your present surroundings.
