EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the charming harbour of Polperro, Cornwall, during the 1860s-1870s. The image captures a picturesque scene from the slipway near The Three Pilchards, showcasing a bustling harbor filled with moored boats adorned with registration numbers such as 23FY, 49FY, 351 (?), 50FY, and 78FY. Amidst this maritime activity stands an idyllic house on the right side of the frame. A lady can be seen hanging out her washing in true coastal fashion. Her presence adds a touch of domesticity to this otherwise nautical setting. The photograph is part of "The History of Polperro" manuscript by Thomas Q. Couch (1878). This work builds upon Jonathan Couch's earlier publication from 1871 and provides further insight into the rich history of this Cornish fishing village. Photographer Lewis Harding skillfully captured not only the beauty of Polperro's natural surroundings but also its vibrant community. The image offers glimpses into daily life in the late nineteenth century – from traditional costumes worn by locals to their activities along this thriving coast. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this remarkable print transports viewers back in time and allows them to immerse themselves in a bygone era where land meets sea and history intertwines with everyday existence.
