EDITORS COMMENTS
Transported to the 1920s, this print captures the bustling outer harbour of Mevagissey in Cornwall. The scene is alive with maritime activity as various vessels navigate through the crystal-clear waters. Docked alongside the lighthouse quay is the iconic pleasure steamer Victor, which faithfully served locals and visitors alike from 1898 until its retirement in 1934. In the foreground, a group of five figures stands on rocky outcrops by the beach, mesmerized by their picturesque surroundings. A woman tenderly watches over four children, their curious eyes fixed on a young boy playfully paddling in the inviting sea. Their presence adds an endearing touch to this coastal tableau. This snapshot encapsulates not only Mevagissey's fishing industry but also its close-knit community spirit. The boats dotting the harbor are a testament to generations of hardworking fishermen who relied on these waters for their livelihoods. As seafaring vessels come and go, they bring with them stories of adventure and resilience. The identity of the photographer remains unknown; however, their skillful composition has immortalized a moment frozen in time—a glimpse into an era when life was simpler yet filled with boundless possibilities along Cornwall's rugged coastline.
