EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to the picturesque streets of Polperro, Cornwall in 1904. Bathed in warm sunlight, the scene exudes a sense of tranquility and simplicity that is characteristic of this charming fishing village. As our gaze wanders along the narrow street, we are immediately drawn to three young children engrossed in their playful activities. Their carefree spirits seem to harmonize with the idyllic surroundings, reminding us of simpler times when joy could be found in even the smallest moments. At closer inspection, our attention is caught by a fascinating detail on the right side of the picture: a fisherman's oilskin trousers hanging on a door to dry. This subtle touch adds an authentic touch to this snapshot from history, giving us insight into daily life and work routines within this close-knit community. Although it remains uncertain whether photographer Herbert Hughes captured this remarkable image, his keen eye for composition and ability to capture everyday scenes has left an indelible mark on this piece. Through his lens, he invites us into a world frozen in time; one where cobblestone streets echo with laughter and fishermen's tales fill salty air. This print serves as both a window into Polperro's past and as a reminder of how much can be gleaned from seemingly ordinary moments. It encapsulates not only its Cornish heritage but also evokes feelings of nostalgia for simpler days gone by.
