EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the early 1900s, capturing a picturesque view of Towan Head and the lifeboat station in Newquay, Cornwall. The image showcases the stunning beauty of this coastal resort town, with Newquay Bay stretching out before our eyes. From our vantage point near King Edwards Crescent's Huers Hut, we can almost feel the refreshing sea breeze on our faces. In this snapshot frozen in time, a young man stands by the railings in the foreground. His presence adds a touch of human connection to an otherwise serene landscape. It is as if he has paused for a moment to take in the breathtaking scenery that surrounds him. The photographer behind this remarkable image remains unknown, but their skillful composition allows us to appreciate both natural and man-made elements harmoniously coexisting. The imposing headland serves as a majestic backdrop for the humble yet vital lifeboat station nestled at its base. This photograph not only captures Newquay's enchanting allure but also pays homage to its rich maritime history. Lifeboats have long played a crucial role along these treacherous shores, ensuring safety and security for seafarers and locals alike. As we gaze upon this vintage print from Royal Cornwall Museum, we are reminded of how timeless coastal landscapes can be—a testament to nature's enduring beauty and mankind's unwavering resilience against formidable forces of the sea.
