EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the quaint fishing village of Polperro in Cornwall, circa 1904. The image beautifully captures the essence of a bustling harbour at low tide, revealing a mesmerizing sight - an array of fishing boats gently resting on the sandy seabed. Amongst them, we can spot the names Nita, Ruby, Naomi, Mary, and Two Sisters proudly displayed on their hulls. The photographer behind this remarkable snapshot is Herbert Hughes. With his keen eye for detail and composition, Hughes masterfully immortalizes this moment in time when Polperro's fishing industry thrived. Each boat represents not only a means of livelihood but also a symbol of resilience and unity within the close-knit community. As we gaze upon this historic scene from over a century ago, one cannot help but be captivated by the simplicity and charm that emanates from every corner of this picturesque harbour. The weathered wooden vessels stand as silent witnesses to countless tales of adventure and hard work endured by generations past. This print serves as an invaluable window into Cornwall's rich maritime heritage - reminding us all of its deep-rooted connection to the sea. It evokes nostalgia for simpler times while honoring those who dedicated their lives to these waters. Displayed at Royal Cornwall Museum with great pride, this photograph invites visitors to immerse themselves in history; it whispers stories untold yet preserved through its timeless beauty.
