EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the picturesque scene of Mevagissey Harbour in Cornwall, England, as it looked in July 1963. The quaint fishing village, nestled between the rugged cliffs and the azure sea, is a quintessential representation of the Cornish coast during the summer months of the 1960s. Boats of various sizes and shapes are moored along the harbour, their wooden hulls weathered by the salty sea air and time. The rustic buildings that line the harbour walls, with their whitewashed exteriors and thatched roofs, add to the charm of this idyllic scene. Seagulls perch on the walls and rooftops, their silhouettes stark against the bright sky, while others soar overhead, calling out to one another. The calm, clear waters of the harbour reflect the blue sky and the surrounding landscape, creating a mirror-like effect that adds to the serene atmosphere. The walled harbour, with its narrow entrance, protected the fishing boats from the rough seas and storms, making it an essential part of the livelihood of the village. The photograph, taken in July 1963, captures the essence of a simpler time, before the modern world encroached upon the quiet beauty of this coastal village. The image invites us to take a moment to appreciate the natural wonders of the Cornish coast and the simple pleasures of a day spent by the sea.
