EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the picturesque Watergate Bay Pillory Cliffs, situated in St Columb Minor, Cornwall. The year is 1909, and a group of talented photographers known as "The Band" are gathered here to capture the breathtaking beauty of this coastal gem. Among them stands T. Mitchell, his presence adding an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene. As we gaze upon this historic image, captured by renowned photographer Herbert Hughes, we can almost feel the salty sea breeze on our faces and hear the crashing waves against the rugged cliffs. Pillory Cliffs rise majestically from the golden sandy beach below, their weathered edges telling tales of centuries past. Cornwall's natural splendor is showcased effortlessly in this photograph; its dramatic coastline serving as a reminder of both its wildness and tranquility. The timeless charm emanating from every corner invites us to explore further into this enchanting region. This print serves as a window into a bygone era when photography was still in its infancy but already capable of capturing moments that would withstand the test of time. It transports us back over a century ago when these pioneering artists sought to immortalize Cornwall's unique landscapes for generations to come. Displayed at Royal Cornwall Museum with pride, this piece offers viewers an opportunity to connect with history while appreciating Cornwall's enduring allure through one man's lens - Herbert Hughes'.
