This print showcases a mesmerizing "Portrait of a lady, Polperro, Cornwall" taken during the 1860-1870s. The full-length portrait captures the elegance and grace of a woman holding a book, exuding an air of intelligence and sophistication. Identified by Philip M.

Photographer Lewis Harding skillfully captured this moment in time, preserving it for generations to come. The woman's attire reflects the fashion trends of that era, with her exquisite costume and dress adding to her aura of refinement. This photographic print is derived from Thomas Q. Couch's manuscript titled "The History of Polperro" published in 1878 as an expansion on Jonathan Couch's earlier work from 1871. It serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation, shedding light on life in Polperro during that period. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when education was highly valued and teachers held great respect within society. This photograph not only celebrates the beauty and poise of its subject but also pays homage to the importance placed on learning during the Victorian era
