EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken in England during the 1930s by artist Frank Deaville Walker, transports us to the picturesque village of Polperro. Nestled on the southeast coast of Cornwall, this charming hamlet is renowned for its thriving pilchard fishery industry. The image captures a bustling scene against a backdrop of rolling hills and quaint buildings. A group of men can be seen gathered near a fishing boat, their weathered faces reflecting years spent at sea. The vibrant activity hints at the importance of this trade to the local community. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, our eyes are drawn to a pier stretching out into the low tide waters. It serves as a lifeline connecting Polperro's inhabitants with neighboring towns and cities. The view is nothing short of breathtaking; it showcases both the beauty and resilience that define coastal life in Britain. This photograph was originally featured in Geographical Magazine, Volume 3 - an esteemed publication known for its exploration and celebration of different geographical features around the world. Preserved through time by The Print Collector, it now allows us to appreciate not only Walker's artistic talent but also provides valuable insight into England's rich maritime heritage during the early 20th century. With every glance at this remarkable print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how local industries shaped communities like Polperro while marveling at nature's awe-inspiring phenomena that surround them.
