EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the charming village of Polperro, nestled on the picturesque coast of Cornwall. Believed to have been taken in the 1860s or 1870s, this image showcases a glimpse into daily life during the 19th century. The east side of the village comes alive with its quaint houses and bustling waterfront, while a lime kiln stands tall in the background. In the foreground, we see Island House, an impressive property that commands attention with its end-on view. This particular photographic print is derived from "The History of Polperro" a manuscript penned by Thomas Q. Couch in 1878 as an expansion upon Jonathan Couch's earlier work published in 1871. Photographer Lewis Harding skillfully captures not only the architectural beauty but also offers insight into fashion and costume trends of that era. Though it is difficult to discern specific details from this distance, one can imagine locals strolling along these very streets adorned in their traditional attire. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this evocative image transports us back to a simpler time when coastal communities thrived on fishing and maritime trade. It serves as both a historical record and an invitation for us to explore and appreciate Cornwall's rich heritage.
