EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 1860-1870s showcases the picturesque harbour of Polperro, Cornwall. The view over the south harbour wall reveals a serene scene at low tide, with an array of boats peacefully resting on the sandy shore. Beyond Chapel Rock, also known as Peak Rock, a steamer or schooner gracefully sails through the calm waters. The attention to detail in this photograph is remarkable. On the right-hand side, we can spot the net loft standing proudly against the backdrop of charming cottages and rugged cliffs. This historic image was captured by Lewis Harding and is now part of Royal Cornwall Museum's collection. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its aesthetic appeal but also in its historical context. It originates from Thomas Q. Couch's manuscript "The History of Polperro" published in 1878 as an expansion upon Jonathan Couch's earlier work on Polperro published in 1871. Transport yourself back to a time when fishing villages like Polperro thrived along Cornwall's stunning coastline. Immerse yourself in this snapshot that encapsulates Cornish heritage - where land meets sea and boats dance harmoniously with nature's elements.
