EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1901 showcases the picturesque Portscatho harbour and village in Gerrans, Cornwall. The scene captures a serene moment at low tide, as a group of curious children gather along the shore to survey the boats that rest upon the glistening waters of the harbor. With their wide-eyed wonderment, they are captivated by the vibrant fishing vessels that dot the tranquil seascape. In this snapshot frozen in time, one can also glimpse much of the charming village nestled behind them. The traditional Cornish houses stand proudly against a backdrop of rolling hills, creating an idyllic setting that exudes tranquility and charm. It is evident that this close-knit community thrives on its deep connection to both land and sea. The beach itself appears inviting with its soft golden sands stretching out towards crystal-clear waters. Lobster pots scattered along the shoreline hint at a thriving local fishing industry, providing sustenance for both villagers and visitors alike. Photographer Herbert Hughes skillfully captures not only a beautiful landscape but also evokes a sense of nostalgia through his lens. This remarkable image transports us back over a century ago when life was simpler yet filled with curiosity and exploration. Displayed at Royal Cornwall Museum, this print serves as an invaluable historical artifact preserving cherished memories of Portscatho's past for generations to come.
