EDITORS COMMENTS

Captured in the summer of 1903, this timeless photograph showcases Bill Harvey, a seasoned fisherman inspecting fishing nets against the picturesque backdrop of Porthgwarra, Cornwall. With a sense of purpose, he contemplates whether it is worth mending these vital tools that sustain his livelihood. Surrounded by stacks of lobster pots and standing proudly in front of a charming thatched cottage, Bill's weathered face tells tales of years spent at sea. At 58 years old when this image was taken, Bill embodies the resilience and dedication characteristic of Cornish fishermen. Dressed in rubber boots to brave the rugged coastline and corduroy trousers for practicality, he wears a knitted fisherman's gansy to shield himself from the chilly ocean breeze. His checked cap sits atop his head as if it were an extension of his identity. Photographer Herbert Hughes skillfully captures not only Bill's physical appearance but also his essence as he puffs on his pipe with contemplation. The composition evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when fishing was more than just an industry; it was a way of life deeply ingrained in Cornwall's cultural heritage. This print serves as both a tribute to those who dedicated their lives to the Cornish fishing industry and as an invitation for us to reflect upon our own connection with nature and tradition.
