EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1890 showcases the charming Keigwin Arms public house in Mousehole, Cornwall. The image transports us back in time, capturing a moment of daily life that is both nostalgic and intriguing. Standing proudly outside the establishment is a man holding three rings of cork floats, perhaps indicating his connection to fishing or maritime activities. The scene comes alive with additional details as our gaze shifts towards the background. A young boy can be seen selling onions from a large basket, adding a touch of bustling activity to this quaint corner of Cornwall. His presence hints at the vibrant local economy and community spirit that thrived during this era. Though the photographer remains unknown, their skill in capturing this slice of history is evident. Through their lens, we are granted access to an intimate glimpse into everyday life over a century ago.
