EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the enchanting coastal beauty of St Michaels Mount, captured in this print from 1895. The view showcases the majestic island rising proudly from Mounts Bay, Cornwall, adorned with its stately castle entrance and charming lodge. As your gaze wanders towards the left, you'll notice a picturesque cemetery lych gate standing sentinel against the backdrop of azure waters. In this nostalgic scene, three little girls frolic playfully by the lych gate, their laughter echoing through time. Their carefree spirits perfectly complement the timeless allure of this Cornish gem. It is fascinating to imagine how these young souls may have marveled at the grandeur surrounding them. St Michaels Mount has long been cherished as a symbol of heritage and natural splendor. Managed by both the National Trust and the esteemed St Aubyn family for centuries, it stands as a testament to their shared commitment to preserving history and tradition. The photographer Herbert Hughes skillfully captures every detail of this extraordinary landscape - from the imposing castle walls that have witnessed countless stories unfold within them to the gentle ebb and flow of waves caressing its shores. This remarkable print transports us back in time, allowing us to immerse ourselves in an era where coastal charm met ancient fortresses. A true treasure for any admirer of Cornwall's rich history.
