Photographer unknown. Early views of Cornwall. 1860s. 3 oval-trimmed albumen prints, one mounted to card. Each ca. 14,5 x 19 cm (mount ca. 26,5 x 36 cm). Two prints annotated in pencil on the verso.

This small group comprises coastal views around Newquay, Cornwall, including Fistral Bay and the Towan Head area. The photographs emphasize expansive horizons, animated skies, and the shifting play of light across sea and surf. Their atmospheric quality moves beyond straightforward topographical record, aligning instead with the pictorial language of mid-19th-century seascape photography.
