EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1906 transports us back in time to the picturesque coastal village of Trevose, St Merryn, Cornwall. The image captures a group of people gathered on the sandy shores of Mother Iveys Bay, their figures silhouetted against the dramatic backdrop of an approaching storm. Renowned photographer Herbert Hughes skillfully frames this moment, allowing us to witness the raw power and beauty of nature. The rugged Cornish coastline stretches out before our eyes, with its towering cliffs standing as guardians against the crashing waves. The vast expanse of golden sand invites exploration and relaxation amidst this untamed environment. Amongst this breathtaking scenery stand several men, their presence adding scale and perspective to the scene. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we cannot help but feel a sense of awe at both man's insignificance compared to nature's might and his ability to find solace within it. This image serves as a reminder that even in the face of impending storms or uncertain times, there is always beauty and strength to be found along our coastal shores. Preserved by the Royal Cornwall Museum, this historical gem allows us to connect with Cornwall's rich heritage while appreciating its timeless allure. It serves as a testament not only to Hughes' artistic prowess but also to humanity's enduring fascination with capturing fleeting moments forever etched into memory through photography.
