EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the picturesque Boscastle harbour in Cornwall on a sunny day of June 1905. The image beautifully captures the essence of this charming fishing village, showcasing its natural beauty and maritime heritage. In the foreground stands a solitary figure, adding a sense of scale and intrigue to the scene. This anonymous individual seems lost in contemplation or perhaps mesmerized by the breathtaking view before them. As we gaze further into the photograph, our eyes are drawn towards the bustling quays that flank either side of the harbor entrance. The photographer, Herbert Hughes, skillfully captured this moment from the north side looking seaward. His lens perfectly frames both quays, revealing boats bobbing gently on calm waters while seagulls soar overhead. The composition evokes a sense of tranquility and harmony with nature. This snapshot from over a century ago transports us to an era when fishing was at its heart in Boscastle—a time when hardworking fishermen would set sail each day to provide for their community. It serves as a reminder of Cornwall's rich maritime history and deep connection with the sea. Preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum, this print is not just an artifact but also an invitation to explore our past through visual storytelling—an opportunity to immerse ourselves in Cornish culture and appreciate how it has evolved over time.
