EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s transports us to the rugged coastline of Cape Cornwall, St Just in Penwith, Cornwall. The image showcases a breathtaking view of The Brisons, two imposing rocky islets that rise majestically from the churning sea. In the distance, a small ship gracefully sails by, adding a sense of scale and adventure to the scene. Cape Cornwall itself holds great significance as it marks the point where the powerful Atlantic currents divide. Here, nature's forces shape destinies as some of these waters flow northward into the Bristol Channel and Irish Sea while others continue their journey towards becoming part of the English Channel. The photograph is part of the esteemed A. K. Hamilton Jenkin collection housed at Royal Cornwall Museum. Although its photographer remains unknown, their skill in capturing this mesmerizing moment is undeniable. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of both nature's grandeur and man's humble presence within it. The jagged rocks stand firm against crashing waves while a lone vessel braves these treacherous waters – an enduring testament to human resilience and exploration. With its cornish charm and coastal allure, this print invites us to immerse ourselves in its timeless beauty. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst our ever-changing world, there are places like Cape Cornwall that retain their wild magnificence for generations to come.
