EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s transports us back in time to the rugged beauty of Cape Cornwall and The Brisons. From the east side above Priests Cove, we are granted a breathtaking view of this picturesque coastal landscape. In the foreground, an excursion party can be seen, accompanied by a horse-drawn cart making its way along the approach road. This charming scene adds a touch of nostalgia to the photograph, reminding us of simpler times when such outings were treasured moments. The imposing chimney stack of Cape Cornwall Mine stands tall on the headland, serving as a reminder of Cornwall's rich mining history. It is fascinating to witness how nature and industry coexist in this remarkable setting. Cape Cornwall itself holds great significance as it marks the point where Atlantic currents diverge. Some waters flow north into the Bristol Channel and Irish Sea while others continue their journey towards becoming part of the English Channel. This natural phenomenon adds another layer of intrigue to an already mesmerizing vista. Part of the A. K. Hamilton Jenkin collection at Royal Cornwall Museum, this photograph captures not only stunning scenery but also preserves a piece of Cornish heritage for future generations to appreciate. Its unknown photographer has skillfully immortalized this moment in time, allowing us to marvel at both nature's grandeur and human endeavors along these rocky shores.
