EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back to the enchanting coastal town of Penzance in Cornwall, circa 1950. The image beautifully captures St Michaels Mount, a majestic castle perched atop a rocky mount, as it stands tall against the vast expanse of sky. The silhouette created by this iconic landmark adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene. In this snapshot of history, we see several small boats gently pulled up onto the sandy beach below. Their presence suggests a bustling maritime activity that was once commonplace along these shores. The tranquil sea stretches out before them, its calm waters reflecting the soft hues of twilight. The photograph transports us to a simpler time when life moved at a slower pace and nature's beauty took center stage. It evokes feelings of nostalgia for an era long gone but not forgotten. As we gaze upon this vintage print, we can almost feel the gentle breeze off the coast and hear seagulls calling in the distance. St Michaels Mount remains an enduring symbol of Cornwall's rich heritage and natural splendor. This image serves as both a testament to its timeless allure and as a reminder that some treasures are meant to be cherished forever.
