EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print from the early 1900s, showcasing a bustling scene at Newlyn Harbour in Cornwall. The image captures the essence of Cornish maritime history, as a group of fishing boats gracefully sail and row through the tranquil waters. Among them, we can identify PZ 104, PZ 110, and PZ 131 - vessels that once played an integral role in sustaining the local fishing industry. This hand-coloured glass lantern slide was skillfully produced by William Charles Hughes of London, whose attention to detail brings life to every brushstroke. The vibrant hues breathe vitality into the scene; you can almost feel the salty sea breeze on your face and hear seagulls calling overhead. The photograph transports us to a simpler era when these sturdy ships were essential for both livelihoods and leisure. It is a testament to Cornwall's rich sailing heritage and its deep connection with the sea. As you gaze upon this remarkable piece of history preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum, take a moment to appreciate not only the craftsmanship behind it but also how it encapsulates an entire way of life that has shaped generations. Let yourself be transported back in time as you imagine fishermen casting their nets or returning home after long days at sea. This print serves as a poignant reminder of our roots and offers an opportunity to reflect on how far we have come while cherishing our maritime traditions that continue to thrive today.
