EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the mystical and haunting legend of the White Hare of Cornwall. In Cornish folklore, a white hare is believed to be the spirit of a broken-hearted maiden who seeks revenge on her deceiver by haunting them. But this ethereal creature also serves as a warning to fisher folk, appearing before tempests to alert them of impending danger. The history and myth surrounding this mysterious hare are deeply rooted in the traditions of Cornwall, England. Its presence symbolizes both heartbreak and protection, making it a powerful figure in local lore. Mary Evans Picture Library has beautifully captured the essence of this ancient tale in their evocative image. The delicate features of the white hare against a backdrop of historical significance bring to life the rich tapestry of myths that have been passed down through generations. Whether you believe in spirits or not, there is no denying the allure and intrigue that surrounds the White Hare of Cornwall. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern world, there are still mysteries waiting to be uncovered and stories waiting to be told.
