This print from 1910 showcases the picturesque village of Porthpean, nestled in St Austell, Cornwall. The image offers a delightful glimpse into a bustling summer's day on Porthpean beach, with its pristine sands stretching out as far as the eye can see. As we look towards the northeast, our attention is drawn to the magnificent white building known as Porthpean House. Its well-tended garden adds an air of elegance and tranquility to this coastal scene. Perched atop the cliffs overlooking the beach stands an old fish cellar, a testament to Porthpean's rich maritime history. This structure serves as a reminder of the village's close connection to fishing and seafaring traditions that have shaped its identity over time. The photographer behind this remarkable snapshot remains unknown; however, their skill in capturing such beauty is undeniable. Through their lens, they have immortalized an Edwardian-era moment frozen in time—a window into a bygone era when life was simpler yet vibrant along Cornwall's coast. As we gaze upon this print from Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back to an idyllic age where cliffside villages like Porthpean offered respite and solace amidst breathtaking natural surroundings.
