St Michael’s Mount: Historical Coastal View
A low coastal settlement leads the eye towards the steep island mount in the distance. Small buildings, open water and the foreground shore give the place a settled human scale. Waddell reproduces the view while discussing St Michael’s Mount and maritime connections. The image is a historical landscape illustration rather than a map of a proposed migration route.
