EDITORS COMMENTS
Transported back in time to the picturesque Inner Harbour of Mevagissey, Cornwall, this print captures the essence of a bygone era. Taken in the 1920s by an unknown photographer, it offers a mesmerizing view looking east through the entrance of the inner harbour. The scene is adorned with a delightful assortment of boats gently bobbing on calm waters, their sails gracefully billowing in the coastal breeze. Intriguingly, two women find solace amidst this serene setting as they perch upon weathered rocks in the foreground. Their Cornish heritage evident from their traditional attire and charming hats that shield them from both sun and sea spray. One can only wonder about their stories; perhaps they are locals taking respite or visitors captivated by Mevagissey's undeniable charm. This evocative snapshot transports us to an era when sailing was not just a means of transportation but also a way of life for many coastal communities like Mevagissey. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when nature's beauty intertwined seamlessly with human existence. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this print stands as a testament to our shared history and cultural heritage. Its authenticity and timeless appeal make it an invaluable piece that allows us to appreciate Cornwall's rich maritime legacy while honoring those who captured these precious moments.
