EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the stunning Perran Bay in Cornwall, 1901. The view from Mussel Rock at Droskyn Point reveals a mesmerizing sight of Retreat Rocks, standing tall and proud against the backdrop of the expansive bay. These unique rock formations showcase the geological wonders that have shaped this picturesque coastline. Intriguingly, this photograph also captures a glimpse of history with the remains of a shipwreck visible in the distance. The French three-masted steel barque named Seine met its unfortunate fate here, driven ashore during a stormy December night in 1900. Its skeletal structure serves as a haunting reminder of the treacherous nature of these waters. The photographer behind this remarkable image is Herbert Hughes, whose keen eye for detail beautifully encapsulates both natural beauty and historical significance. Through his lens, we are transported to an era where coastal life was intertwined with maritime adventures and tales of bravery. Cornwall's rugged charm shines through every element captured within this frame – from the rocky cliffs to sandy beaches kissed by foamy waves. It is no wonder why this enchanting region has become synonymous with breathtaking coastlines and untamed seas. As we admire this print from Royal Cornwall Museum, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also reflect on how it connects us to our past – reminding us that even amidst serenity lies stories waiting to be discovered.
