EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1903, we are transported back in time to witness the life of Bill Harvey, a seasoned fisherman from Porthgwarra, Cornwall. At the age of 58, he stands proudly in front of the camera lens, his weathered face telling tales of a lifetime spent at sea. Dressed in rubber boots and corduroy trousers, Bill's attire reflects both functionality and tradition. His knitted fisherman's gansy hugs his sturdy frame while a checked cap adorns his head with pride. With knife in hand and lengths of twine draped over his arm, he skillfully hangs skate on the wall within the fisherman's tunnel leading to the beach. Photographer Herbert Hughes has captured not only an image but also a glimpse into Cornish fishing industry history. The photograph exudes authenticity as it immortalizes Bill Harvey amidst his daily routine - an emblematic representation of generations dedicated to their craft along these rugged shores. This remarkable print serves as a poignant reminder of our connection to our maritime heritage and pays homage to those who have tirelessly worked to sustain their communities through fishing. It is an invaluable piece that transports us back in time while honoring Cornwall's rich cultural legacy.
