EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from August 1928 showcases the iconic St Michaels Mount at high tide, a true Cornish landmark. The image, originally used for publicity by GWR, transports us back to the enchanting summer of the 1920s. As we gaze upon this breathtaking sight, we are immediately drawn to the absence of the causeway that typically links Marazion to the castle. Its disappearance beneath the sea only adds to the allure and mystery surrounding this magnificent coastal gem. The photograph perfectly captures the raw power and beauty of nature as it engulfs St Michaels Mount in its watery embrace. The turbulent waves crash against its rocky base, creating a mesmerizing spectacle that leaves us in awe of Mother Nature's might. The castle perched atop stands tall and proud amidst this aquatic symphony. In August 1928, visitors would have marveled at this scene with wonderment and admiration for both man-made architecture and natural wonders alike. This image serves as a timeless reminder of Cornwall's rich history and picturesque coastline. As we delve into our imagination while gazing upon this historical artifact preserved by STEAM Museum of GWR, we can almost hear seagulls calling out overhead and feel a gentle sea breeze caressing our faces. It is an invitation to explore not just a physical place but also an era long gone – one filled with adventure, exploration, and appreciation for all that nature has bestowed upon us.
