EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the charming village of Polperro in Cornwall during the 1860s-1870s. The image offers a picturesque view across the village, showcasing its idyllic coastal setting. Nestled amidst this scenic landscape is a house on the right, which holds great historical significance as it was once home to Lewis Harding, a renowned photographer who processed his photographs within its walls. Now known as Osprey Cottage, this humble abode stands as a testament to Harding's artistic endeavors and serves as a reminder of the rich photographic history that unfolded within these very walls. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported back to an era when photography was still in its infancy. The image captures not only the beauty of Polperro but also provides glimpses into daily life during that period. People dressed in their distinct 19th-century costumes can be seen going about their routines against the backdrop of rolling waves and rugged cliffs. This remarkable photographic print originates from "The History of Polperro" meticulously crafted by Thomas Q. Couch in 1878. Building upon Jonathan Couch's earlier work published in 1871 under the same name, Couch's manuscript delves deeper into uncovering Polperro's past. As we admire this piece of Cornish history frozen in time through Lewis Harding's lens, we are reminded of both our connection with those who came before us and how photography has allowed us to preserve precious moments for generations to come.
