EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s takes us back in time to Harlyn Bay, a picturesque coastal gem nestled in St Merryn, Cornwall. The image beautifully captures the essence of this idyllic location, showcasing a breathtaking view of the bay with its rugged cliffs and glistening sea. In the foreground stands an enchanting house perched on the cliff's edge, seemingly untouched by time. Its presence adds a touch of charm and character to an already stunning landscape. Two boats rest peacefully on the shore below, their colorful sails contrasting against the deep blue hues of the ocean. A pathway gracefully winds its way down towards the beach, inviting visitors to explore and discover hidden treasures along this Cornish coastline. It is easy to imagine families strolling hand-in-hand or locals venturing out for their daily dose of fresh sea air. Photographed by Thomas Henry Williams, this image not only serves as a visual delight but also offers a glimpse into life during that era. It transports us back to simpler times when fishing was abundant and farming communities thrived amidst these natural wonders. As we admire this remarkable piece from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, let it remind us of our rich heritage and evoke a sense of nostalgia for those who have walked these shores before us. May it inspire future generations to cherish and preserve such precious landscapes for years to come.
