EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to June 1904, capturing a mesmerizing general view of Polperro's picturesque harbour. As we gaze upon this historic image, we are transported to an era where rowing boats peacefully dotted the calm waters during low tide. Photographer Herbert Hughes skillfully frames the scene from a unique perspective, positioning himself at sea level. This vantage point allows us to fully appreciate the natural beauty and charm that emanates from every corner of this Cornish village. The composition is masterful; our eyes are drawn towards the bustling harbour with its quaint buildings lining the shore. The muted colors of this photograph evoke a sense of nostalgia, reminding us of simpler times when life moved at a slower pace. We can almost feel ourselves being transported into this bygone era as we imagine what it must have been like for those who lived and worked in Polperro over a century ago. This print serves as both a historical record and an artistic masterpiece, preserving not only the physical landscape but also capturing the essence and spirit of Cornwall's coastal communities. It reminds us of their resilience, reliance on fishing for sustenance, and their deep connection with nature. As we admire this remarkable piece captured by Hughes' lens, let us take a moment to reflect on how much has changed since then while appreciating how some aspects endure through time - such as Polperro's enduring allure that continues to captivate visitors today.
