EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the picturesque fishing village of Polperro, nestled along the rugged coast of Cornwall. The image captures a panoramic view from the cliff path above Scilly Cove, offering a breathtaking perspective of this idyllic harbor. As we gaze upon the scene, our eyes are immediately drawn to the numerous wooden fishing sailboats that peacefully rest within the protective embrace of the ancient harbour walls. These vessels bear witness to a bygone era when fishing was not only an occupation but also an integral part of daily life for those who called Polperro home. The charm and character of this quaint village come alive as we observe its tightly packed houses clinging to the steep hills on either side of the river. Each dwelling seems to have its own unique story etched into its weathered facade, standing as a testament to generations past. Transporting us further back in time, this print is believed to date between 1850 and 1900. It serves as a visual portal through which we can glimpse into history and appreciate how little has changed in this timeless corner of Cornwall. Preserved by Historic England Archive, this remarkable piece offers more than just aesthetic appeal; it invites us on a journey through time and allows us to connect with our maritime heritage in ways words alone cannot convey.
