EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the serene beauty of Polperro's outer harbour in Cornwall, dating back to around 1861. The image showcases a picturesque view from the inner harbour at low tide, revealing a scene filled with boats peacefully resting on the calm waters. Notably, this snapshot was taken just before the construction of the renowned Prince of Wales Pier commenced. On September 5th, 1861, history was made as the foundation stone for this iconic landmark was laid. This print serves as a precious glimpse into that transformative period. The photographer responsible for immortalizing this moment is Lewis Harding. Through his lens, he skillfully captured every intricate detail - from the rugged coastal landscape to the traditional clothing worn by people present at that time. This remarkable photographic print originates from "The History of Polperro" an esteemed manuscript authored by Thomas Q. Couch in 1878. Couch expanded upon Jonathan Couch's earlier work published in 1871 to provide further insight into Polperro's rich heritage. As you gaze upon this evocative image, let yourself be transported back to a bygone era when life moved at a slower pace along Cornwall's enchanting coastline. Immerse yourself in its timeless charm and allow your imagination to wander through centuries past while appreciating both nature's majesty and human endeavor harmoniously coexisting within this idyllic setting.
