EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to around 1900, capturing a slice of life along the picturesque coast of Cornwall. In this scene, we witness a small dinghy gracefully making its way ashore at an undisclosed location. The skilled fisherman on board navigates through the calm waters with utmost precision, surrounded by lobster pots ready to be deployed for their daily catch. The composition showcases not only the hard work and dedication of these fishermen but also provides a glimpse into the thriving fishing industry that once thrived along Cornwall's south coast during Victorian and Edwardian times. The presence of other boats moored in the background hints at a bustling community engaged in similar pursuits. Although taken by an unknown photographer, their keen eye captures both the beauty of this coastal region and its reliance on fishing as a means of livelihood. This image transports us to an era when Cornish men braved unpredictable seas day after day, embodying resilience and determination in their pursuit of sustenance from the sea. As we gaze upon this historical photograph, we are reminded of Cornwall's rich maritime heritage - where land meets sea - forever intertwined with tales of fish-filled nets, salty air, and generations dedicated to preserving their coastal way of life.
