EDITORS COMMENTS
A Charming Scene from Mullion Cove, Mullion, Cornwall: Circa 1900 This photograph, taken by the renowned local photographer Arthur Philp around the turn of the twentieth century, offers a glimpse into the past of Mullion Cove, located on the picturesque Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall. The quaint fishing village, with its charming cottages and rugged coastline, was a popular destination for day-trippers and excursion parties during this era. In this photograph, an excursion party, dressed in their finest Sunday clothes, has gathered on the slip below the Lifeboat Station. Ladies, elegantly adorned in long dresses, hats, and parasols, sit in the boats, while gentlemen, wearing suits and top hats, stand against them. The joyful atmosphere is palpable as the group prepares for a day of exploration and relaxation in the beautiful Cornish countryside. The Lizard Peninsula, with its unique character and rich history, has long been a source of inspiration for artists, photographers, and visitors alike. The area's fishing communities, with their colorful boats and vibrant costumes, have been immortalized in countless photographs and paintings, offering a window into a bygone era. This photograph, with its charming composition and rich detail, invites us to imagine the stories of the people in the image and the lives they led in this idyllic corner of Cornwall. The presence of a playful dog in the foreground adds a touch of whimsy and delight, making this photograph a true treasure from the past.
