EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1907 showcases the stunning Porthcothan Beach in St Merryn, Cornwall. The image captures a picturesque view of the beach, with its golden sand stretching out towards the crystal-clear sea. Amongst the rugged rocks by the tideline stands a man, likely a member of the photographic party who ventured to this breathtaking location. The highlight of this scene is undoubtedly the magnificent rock arch that once graced these shores. Sadly, it fell victim to powerful storms in 2014 and was lost forever. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of its former glory and reminds us of nature's relentless power. The North Cornwall coast boasts an array of beautiful bays and beaches, each offering their own unique charm. Porthcothan Beach is no exception; its natural beauty draws visitors from far and wide. Over time, erosion and weathering have shaped this coastline into a geological wonderland filled with fascinating formations. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also invites reflection on how our environment evolves over decades or even centuries. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an educational tool for understanding our planet's ever-changing landscape. Displayed proudly at Royal Cornwall Museum, this photograph allows viewers to immerse themselves in the timeless allure of Porthcothan Beach while contemplating the forces that shape our world naturally – without any commercial intentions involved.
