The image depicts a coastal scene with rugged cliffs and grassy expanses leading down to the sea. The waves are breaking gently on the rocks, creating white foam as they meet the shore. In the background, another landmass is visible across the water, suggesting this location might be part of an island or peninsula within Cornwall. The color palette consists mainly of muted greens from the vegetation and varying shades of blue in the sky and sea. There's a hint of softness to the image quality which could indicate it’s either old or intentionally stylized with vintage tones.

This particular photograph is labeled "Newquay - Towan Head, Newquay" at the bottom left corner, suggesting this scene is located near Towan Beach in Newquay, Cornwall. The number '10767' appears as well, which might refer to a cataloging or identification system used by an archive or collection where these prints were stored.

This image captures what seems like typical Cornish coastal beauty with its dramatic cliffs and serene sea, possibly serving both aesthetic purposes and historical documentation of the area during that period.
