EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the picturesque beauty of St Michaels Mount, Mounts Bay. The photographer, Herbert Hughes, skillfully captures the essence of this stunning coastal landscape in Cornwall. The image showcases a breathtaking view from atop St Michaels Mount, with its iconic watch box and bustling harbor dominating the foreground. As our eyes wander further into the distance, we are treated to a mesmerizing sight of Marazion nestled on the horizon. However, what truly captivates is the knowledge that this scene can only be witnessed when low tide reveals the causeway connecting St Michaels Mount to Marazion; at high tide it remains hidden beneath glistening waters. St Michaels Mount has been under the careful stewardship of both the National Trust and generations of the St Aubyn family since their residency began over three centuries ago. This historical connection adds an extra layer of intrigue to this already enchanting place. Hughes' photograph transports us back to an era where Victorian charm met rugged Cornish coastline. It serves as a reminder that even amidst changing times, some landscapes remain timeless and continue to inspire awe in all who behold them.
