EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the summer of 1908, this print takes us back to Mullion Cove, a picturesque fishing village nestled on the rugged Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall. Stepping into the world of hardworking fishermen and their timeless traditions, we witness a moment frozen in time. In this enchanting scene, two weathered men stand by an open boat on the sandy beach. Their faces etched with years of resilience and determination tell stories untold. The older man proudly presents a magnificent lobster to the photographer's lens, showcasing their bountiful catch from that day's expedition. Meanwhile, his younger companion sits atop a lobster pot diligently inspecting their nets for any signs of success. The backdrop is adorned with charming cottages dotting the coastline and towering chimneys rising above rustic sheds—a testament to the thriving fishing industry that once thrived here. This image encapsulates not only the livelihoods but also the deep-rooted sense of community within these Cornish fishing villages. Photographer Herbert Hughes has skillfully captured both serenity and purpose in this snapshot from another era. As we gaze upon it today at Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back to an age where hard work met nature's bounty amidst breathtaking coastal landscapes. This print serves as a poignant reminder of our rich maritime heritage and pays homage to those working men who dedicated their lives to sustaining their communities through generations.
