EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 1900s, capturing a picturesque scene in Porthgwarra, Cornwall. The image showcases a view from the slipway, where fishing boats rest peacefully as they await their next voyage into the vast sea. Standing tall and sturdy is the capstan, its gears ready for action, symbolizing the hard work and dedication of those involved in Cornwall's thriving fishing industry. To the right of this bustling maritime scene lies a cluster of semi-natural caves that add an element of mystery to this coastal landscape. These caves have witnessed countless tales of adventure and exploration throughout history, serving as shelter for fishermen or perhaps even hiding spots for smugglers during darker times. The photographer behind this remarkable shot is believed to be Herbert Hughes, whose keen eye beautifully captures every detail with precision and artistry. Through his lens, we are transported to a time when chains clinked against metal pulleys and salty ocean air filled our lungs. This print from Royal Cornwall Museum not only preserves a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of Cornwall's rich heritage rooted in its connection with the sea. It evokes feelings of nostalgia and admiration for those who braved unpredictable waters day after day to provide sustenance for their communities
