EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the enchanting beauty of St Michaels Mount and its surroundings. The hand coloured glass lantern slide showcases a general view along the causeway leading to this iconic landmark nestled in Mounts Bay, Cornwall. It is evident that this image was captured before nature had adorned the slopes above the village with trees, allowing us to appreciate an unobstructed vista. St Michaels Mount has long been a cherished site managed by the National Trust, but it is also home to the St Aubyn family who have resided within its castle walls for centuries. This historical connection adds depth and significance to this photograph as we imagine life unfolding within these ancient walls since their acquisition by the St Aubyns in the 1650s. The photographer behind this remarkable snapshot remains unknown, yet their ability to capture such breathtaking scenery speaks volumes about their skill and artistic vision. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time and invited to explore every detail of this picturesque landscape. This print serves as a testament not only to our rich heritage but also reminds us of our responsibility towards preserving these cultural treasures for future generations. Let it inspire you with its timeless charm and encourage you to embark on your own journey through history when visiting Cornwall's majestic St Michaels Mount.
