EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to the picturesque Perranporth beach in 1895. The image showcases a breathtaking natural wonder known as Lion Rock, an imposing rock formation that stands proudly against the crashing waves of the Atlantic Ocean. Nestled within this magnificent structure is a stunning natural arch, adding an element of mystery and intrigue to the scene. In this photograph, expertly captured by photographer Herbert Hughes, we can see figures perched on rocks in the middle distance. These individuals appear tiny compared to the grandeur of their surroundings, emphasizing both their insignificance in nature's vastness and their appreciation for its beauty. The composition exudes tranquility and serenity as sunlight gently illuminates every detail. The contrasting textures of jagged cliffs against soft sand create a harmonious balance between ruggedness and gentleness. It transports us to a simpler time when people sought solace amidst nature's wonders. This print not only captures a specific moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to Cornwall's timeless allure. It invites viewers to imagine themselves strolling along Perranporth beach over a century ago, feeling the cool ocean breeze on their faces while marveling at Lion Rock's majestic presence.
