EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1908 showcases the serene coastal village of Coverack, nestled in the picturesque St Keverne region of Cornwall. Taken by renowned photographer Herbert Hughes, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the quaint charm and natural beauty that defined Edwardian-era Cornish life. The image transports us to a simpler time, where rows of charming houses line the beachfront, their colorful facades reflecting off the calm waters below. The warm hues of terracotta and pastel shades create a delightful contrast against the vibrant blue sky above. It is as if time stands still in this idyllic scene. As we peer closer at this remarkable photograph, we can almost hear echoes of laughter and joy emanating from children playing on the sandy shore or families strolling along the promenade. The tranquility captured here evokes a sense of peace and contentment that was characteristic of early 20th-century Cornwall. Herbert Hughes' keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate not only the architectural splendor but also hints at everyday life during this period. From laundry hanging out to dry on lines strung between buildings to small boats gently bobbing in shallow waters nearby – each element tells its own story within this frozen moment in time. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this print serves as an invaluable historical document, offering viewers an opportunity to step back into an era long gone yet forever etched into our collective memory.
