EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing view across the beach from the western cliff of Bedruthan Steps, located in St Eval, Cornwall. Believed to have been taken during the 1920s by photographer Arthur William Jordan, this image offers a glimpse into a bygone era. Various figures can be seen standing or leisurely walking along the cliffs, their silhouettes adding depth and intrigue to the composition. The focal point of this photograph is undoubtedly Queen Bess rock, majestically positioned towards the center-right of the frame. Its imposing presence commands attention and serves as a reminder of nature's raw power and beauty. In closer proximity to the camera lies Samaritan Island, its rugged features contrasting with the serene waters that surround it. To add an element of human activity to this picturesque scene, a small wooden hut can be spotted on the far right side. Perhaps serving as shelter for those seeking respite from coastal adventures or simply providing storage for local fishermen's equipment. This evocative snapshot transports us back in time and invites contemplation about how much has changed since then. The individuals captured in this momentary freeze are dressed in traditional Cornish attire - an intriguing detail that adds cultural significance to this historical documentation. Displayed at Royal Cornwall Museum, this print offers viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in Cornwall's rich heritage while marveling at its breathtaking natural landscapes.
