EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s transports us back in time to the picturesque village of Philleigh, nestled in the heart of Cornwall. The image showcases a breathtaking view northwards towards Tregothnan from Polgerran, capturing the essence of this idyllic coastal region. With its rugged cliffs and rolling hills, it is no wonder that Cornwall has long been an inspiration for artists and poets alike. In this particular scene, our gaze is drawn towards a slipway at the entrance to the Ruan section of the River Fal. The slipway stands as a testament to Cornwall's rich maritime history, where boats once embarked on their journeys across these enchanting waters. As we admire this tranquil vista, one cannot help but imagine fishermen setting sail or locals strolling along the riverbanks. The photographer responsible for capturing this timeless moment remains unknown; however, their skillful composition allows us to appreciate every detail within this black-and-white masterpiece. From the delicate play of light on water to the distant silhouette of Tregothnan estate against a cloudy sky – each element contributes to an atmosphere steeped in nostalgia. As we delve into Cornwall's past through images like these preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum, we are reminded of how landscapes evolve over time while retaining their inherent beauty. This print serves as both a window into history and an invitation for us all to explore and cherish our natural surroundings today.
