EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the picturesque Percuil River in Gerrans, Cornwall, in the year 1912. The scene is bustling with activity and offers a glimpse into life during that era. In the foreground of the image stands a photographer, possibly Herbert Hughes himself, capturing this momentous snapshot of history. His presence adds an intriguing layer to this already fascinating composition. To the left of the frame rests a majestic schooner named Emma. Its towering masts and billowing sails evoke a sense of adventure and maritime prowess. This vessel symbolizes Cornwall's rich seafaring heritage and its connection to trade routes across vast oceans. On the right side of the photograph, we see marine stores lining the riverbank. These establishments were vital for supplying ships with provisions necessary for their journeys at sea. It is interesting to note that amidst these traditional establishments stands a motor car—an early sign of modernity creeping into this quaint coastal town. The backdrop showcases Cornish countryside beauty with rolling hills extending towards distant horizons. Horses graze peacefully nearby, adding an element of rustic charm to this idyllic setting. This remarkable print from Royal Cornwall Museum encapsulates not only stunning landscapes but also provides insight into daily life over a century ago—a testament to both human progress and our enduring connection with nature's wonders.
