EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the picturesque fishing village of Polperro, nestled along the rugged coast of Cornwall. The scene is set amidst the possibly 1940s era, when life revolved around a thriving fishing industry that sustained this close-knit community. The focal point of the image is Polperro Harbour, where a fleet of traditional fishing boats gracefully rest on calm waters. Among them are FY185, FY20, FY30, and FY52 - their names etched onto their weathered hulls as proud symbols of Cornish maritime heritage. A fifth boat, possibly FY12, completes this charming ensemble. As our gaze extends beyond the harbor's edge and up towards the hillside/cliffside dwellings, we catch glimpses of quaint houses dotting the landscape. These sturdy structures bear witness to generations who have called this coastal haven home. While it remains unknown who expertly captured this moment in time with their lens, we owe gratitude to an anonymous photographer for preserving such a nostalgic glimpse into Polperro's past. This print serves as a testament to both Cornish resilience and its deep-rooted connection with the sea. It transports us back to an era when fishermen braved tempestuous waves each day in pursuit of their livelihoods while simultaneously painting an idyllic portrait of a bygone coastal village steeped in history and tradition.
