EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the beautiful "Portrait of Hannah Rowett" taken in Polperro, Cornwall around 1860. The subject of this mesmerizing image is none other than Hannah Rowett herself, born in 1850 and a cousin to Robert and Frank Rendle. This photographic print is derived from the manuscript titled "The History of Polperro" by Thomas Q. Couch, published in 1878 as an expansion on Jonathan Couch's earlier work. Photographer Lewis Harding has skillfully captured Hannah's innocence and charm through his lens. Dressed in typical 19th-century attire, her clothing exudes elegance and refinement. Her ringlets cascade down her shoulders, framing her youthful face with grace. This portrait not only serves as a visual representation of a young girl from that era but also provides valuable insights into the fashion trends prevalent during that time period. It offers us a glimpse into the lives of individuals living in Cornwall during the late 19th century. Preserved within the Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this photograph allows us to connect with history on a personal level by immortalizing one individual's story amidst countless others. It reminds us of our shared heritage and invites contemplation about how society has evolved over time
