EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the picturesque coastal village of Porthoustock, nestled along the stunning Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall. The year is 1912, and as we gaze upon this image, we are transported to an era when life moved at a slower pace. The focal point of the photograph is a row of charming thatched cottages that line the narrow road leading towards the beach. These quaint dwellings exude an air of tranquility and simplicity, their whitewashed walls contrasting beautifully against the vibrant greenery surrounding them. In the distance, our eyes are drawn to a majestic stone quarry quay standing proudly against the backdrop of clear blue skies. This serves as a reminder of Cornwall's rich industrial heritage and its close connection with nature. As we immerse ourselves in this scene, it becomes evident why fishing villages like Porthoustock have always held such allure for visitors seeking solace by the sea. The rugged coastline stretches out before us, inviting exploration and offering breathtaking views at every turn. This print captures not only a moment frozen in time but also encapsulates the essence of Cornish coastal living - where simplicity meets natural beauty. It reminds us to appreciate these idyllic landscapes that have remained largely unchanged over decades while inspiring future generations to preserve their charm for years to come.
