Coast Coastal Estuary Fishing Village
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the picturesque coastal village of Polruan, nestled along the enchanting Lanteglos by Fowey in Cornwall. Believed to have been captured around 1914 by the talented photographer Herbert Hughes, this image showcases a serene scene that beautifully encapsulates the essence of Cornish life. In the foreground, we see rowing boats gracefully gliding across the calm waters of an estuary. Men are skillfully maneuvering these vessels, their oars rhythmically slicing through the water as they engage in their daily fishing activities. Behind them stands a majestic topsail schooner, its identity shrouded in mystery but adding an air of intrigue and adventure to this idyllic setting. The backdrop reveals a glimpse into village life with Polruan's charming cottages dotting the landscape. The rustic beauty is enhanced by rolling hills and verdant greenery that seamlessly blend with nature's masterpiece – Cornwall's breathtaking coastline. As we gaze upon this timeless snapshot frozen in history, it transports us to a simpler era when life revolved around close-knit communities and traditional maritime pursuits. It serves as a reminder of Cornwall's rich heritage and its deep connection with both land and sea. This remarkable print from Royal Cornwall Museum not only captures our imagination but also preserves an invaluable piece of Cornish history for generations to come.
