EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1909, capturing a picturesque scene of Mevagissey's outer harbour in Cornwall. The image showcases the bustling maritime activity that once thrived in this charming coastal town. Boats of various sizes can be seen both moored and gracefully gliding through the tranquil waters, their sails billowing with the gentle breeze. In the foreground, three men steal our attention as they navigate their way up the slipway. Two of them are leisurely strolling towards us, while another stands firmly holding onto a boat they have just disembarked from. Their presence adds a human touch to this otherwise serene setting. A lone rower catches our eye as he skillfully maneuvers his small vessel further into the outer harbour. His determined strokes create ripples on the calm surface, leaving behind a trail that fades into oblivion. The photographer responsible for capturing this remarkable moment is Herbert Hughes. Through his lens, he immortalizes an era when fishing and seafaring were integral parts of Cornish life. This stunning print would make an excellent addition to any wall or collection dedicated to preserving Cornwall's rich heritage. It encapsulates not only its natural beauty but also pays homage to those who relied on these waters for their livelihoods. Let it transport you back in time and evoke a sense of nostalgia for bygone days spent amidst lighthouses, salty air, and endless horizons stretching over shimmering waterways.
