EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum transports us back in time to the picturesque village of Polperro, Cornwall, before the turn of the 20th century. The image offers a mesmerizing general view over this idyllic coastal settlement, as captured by Surgeon Captain John Campbell. Nestled amidst rolling hills and overlooking the vast expanse of the sea, Polperro appears like a hidden gem frozen in time. The quaint cottages dotting its landscape evoke a sense of warmth and tranquility that is quintessentially Cornish. Each cottage seems to tell its own story, with their stone walls adorned with vibrant flowers and charming thatched roofs adding an extra touch of rustic charm. As we gaze upon this scene, it's easy to imagine life in this close-knit community during simpler times. Perhaps fishermen are returning from their daily catch or villagers are going about their daily routines along narrow cobbled streets. The salty breeze carries whispers of tales shared among neighbors while seagulls soar overhead against a backdrop of clear blue skies. Surgeon Captain John Campbell's skillful composition captures not only the physical beauty but also preserves an essence of Polperro's timeless spirit within this photograph. It serves as a testament to his keen eye for detail and his ability to encapsulate moments that transcend generations. This remarkable piece allows us to immerse ourselves in Polperro's rich history and appreciate its enduring allure – an enchanting glimpse into Cornwall's past that continues to captivate
