Capturing the Essence of a Victorian Fishing Village - The Harbour, Newlyn, Cornwall. 1898
EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time and immerse yourself in the picturesque charm of a Cornish fishing village with this photo print. Taken by renowned photographer Herbert Hughes, this snapshot transports you to the year 1898, where bustling maritime activity unfolds before your eyes. The focal point of the image is a magnificent two-masted lugger named PZ 207 gracefully sailing into Newlyn harbour. Its sails billow against an azure sky as five crew members can be seen diligently working on deck. A hidden lugger discreetly follows suit, adding an air of mystery to the scene. As your gaze wanders beyond these majestic vessels, more luggers dot the harbor background – their presence a testament to Newlyn's thriving fishing industry at that time. Amongst them stands PZ 148, proudly displaying its distinctive markings. At the end of North Pier, a group of curious onlookers gathers to witness this daily spectacle unfold. One woman stands among them, her attire reflecting the fashion trends of Victorian Cornwall. Two men from this group remain engrossed in their angling pursuits – seemingly undeterred by the maritime commotion surrounding them. This remarkable photograph encapsulates not only an era but also evokes nostalgia for simpler times when fishing villages like Newlyn thrived on hard work and close-knit communities bonded by their love for sailing and seafaring adventures.
