EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the picturesque coastal village of Porthoustock, nestled within the enchanting landscape of St Keverne, Cornwall. The year is 1908, and renowned photographer Herbert Hughes has masterfully captured a breathtaking view from the beach towards The Cottage. The thatched cottages near the shore exude an undeniable charm, their rustic beauty harmonizing with the rugged coastline and pristine sands below. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, our eyes are drawn towards the boats resting peacefully on the beach.

Porthoustock's rich history as a fishing village becomes evident as we delve deeper into this image. Beyond its quaint facade lies a vibrant hub where fishermen once set sail each day to harvest bountiful catches from these Cornish waters. Nearby quarries also played a significant role in shaping this coastal haven, leaving behind remnants that add character to its unique identity. As we explore further, it becomes apparent that Porthoustock is just one gem among many along Cornwall's stunning Lizard Peninsula. This region boasts an abundance of charming fishing villages and awe-inspiring coastlines that have captivated visitors for centuries.
