EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the remarkable journey of Mary Callinack, the Cornish Fish-Woman, at the age of 85. In a display of incredible endurance and determination, she walked all the way from Penzance to Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition in London. The image shows Mary standing proudly amidst the bustling crowd in Hyde Park. Despite her advanced age, she exudes strength and resilience as she gazes upon the grandeur of this historic event. Her weathered face tells a story of a life lived by the sea, marked by hardships and perseverance. Mary's feat was so extraordinary that it caught the attention of The Illustrated London News, who featured her in their publication on October 25th, 1851. This engraving serves as a visual testament to her indomitable spirit and unwavering determination. As we admire this snapshot from history, we are reminded not only of Mary's physical achievement but also of her embodiment of Cornwall's enduring spirit. She represents both longevity and tradition within an ever-changing world. Through this image, we catch a glimpse into an era where individuals like Mary defied expectations and pushed boundaries. It is a tribute to human resilience and serves as an inspiration for generations to come.
