EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1911, we are transported to the rugged beauty of Towednack, Cornwall. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the majestic Cuckoo Rocks, standing tall and proud against the backdrop of a clear blue sky. As our gaze follows the contours of Rosewell Hill towards these magnificent rock formations, we catch a glimpse of a friend accompanying Herbert Hughes, the talented photographer behind this snapshot. The scene exudes tranquility and awe-inspiring natural grandeur. The rocks themselves appear weathered by time and elements, their jagged edges contrasting with the serene coastal landscape surrounding them. One can only imagine how many stories they hold within their ancient crevices. Hughes skillfully captures not just an impressive geological formation but also conveys a sense of scale in relation to its surroundings. Through his lens, he invites us to share in his companion's wonderment as they stand together before nature's masterpiece. This photograph serves as both a historical document and an artistic testament to Cornwall's enduring allure. It transports us back in time to an era when capturing such moments required patience and precision. Today it stands proudly on display at Royal Cornwall Museum—a reminder that even though times change, some things remain timeless: nature's breathtaking beauty and humanity's eternal fascination with it.
