EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the quaint village of Polperro, Cornwall in 1914. The image beautifully captures a charming house nestled amidst the picturesque landscape. Its backyard, partially adorned with slate hung walls, exudes an old-world charm that transports us to a bygone era. The photographer's name is believed to be Herbert Hughes, although there is some uncertainty surrounding this attribution. Nevertheless, his skillful eye has immortalized this moment in history for all to appreciate. Cornwall's rugged beauty serves as the perfect backdrop for this enchanting scene. The house stands proudly against the rolling hills and lush greenery that surround it. One can't help but imagine the stories hidden within its walls - tales of family gatherings, laughter echoing through its rooms, and perhaps even secrets whispered under moonlit nights. This print from Royal Cornwall Museum offers a glimpse into a simpler time when life moved at a slower pace. It reminds us of the enduring beauty found in everyday moments and encourages us to cherish our own homes and communities. While we do not have information about any commercial use associated with this photograph, its value lies beyond any monetary gain – it allows us to connect with history on a personal level and appreciate the timeless allure of Cornwall's landscapes.
