EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the year 1914, capturing a picturesque view of Huers Hut in Newquay, Cornwall. The humble hut stands proudly on the rugged coastline, overlooking the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. Its purpose becomes apparent as we delve into its history - it provided shelter for an important figure known as the Huer. In this snapshot frozen in time, we can imagine the Huer standing within those wooden walls, gazing out at the horizon with keen eyes. His role was crucial; he would diligently scan the waters for large shoals of fish, predominantly pilchards. Once spotted, his horn would sound and his voice would carry across land and sea as he shouted "Heva! Heva!" - a signal that echoed through time to alert fishermen in the bustling harbor below. The composition of this photograph is strikingly beautiful. A winding path leads our gaze towards Huers Hut while men lean against railings nearby, perhaps sharing stories or waiting eagerly for news from their fellow seafarer above. The Cornish landscape envelops them all with its rugged charm and timeless allure. Photographer Herbert Hughes has skillfully captured not just a moment but also a piece of local heritage etched into these coastal cliffs. This image serves as a poignant reminder of how communities relied on one another's knowledge and expertise to sustain their way of life amidst nature's unpredictable bounty.
