EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of Cape Cornwall takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the historic beauty of this English coastal landmark. The image, captured by an unknown English photographer, showcases the rugged cliffs and crashing waves that define this iconic location. The photograph is part of a private collection and was featured in the Photographic View Album of Penzance and Neighbourhood, published around 1895. Its inclusion in this album speaks to its significance as a representation of Cornwall's natural splendor during that time. Cape Cornwall itself holds immense historical value, with its rich heritage dating back centuries. This photo allows us to appreciate not only the visual beauty but also sense the history embedded within these ancient rocks. It transports us to an era when England was known as Great Britain, united under one kingdom. The monochromatic nature of the image adds a timeless quality, emphasizing both the starkness and grandeur of Cape Cornwall. The absence of color invites viewers to focus on texture and form while evoking a sense of nostalgia for simpler times. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from our past through their fine art collection. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded that even though time may pass, there will always be enduring beauty found in photographs like these – capturing moments frozen forever in history's embrace.
