EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print from 1902, showcasing the picturesque Boscastle harbour in Cornwall. The focal point of the image is the magnificent schooner named "Lively" of Bideford, majestically docked at the south quay. Its towering masts proudly reach towards the sky, a testament to its seafaring prowess and rich maritime history. Taken from a vantage point on the north side above the bustling harbor, this view offers a glimpse into an era when fishing was not just an occupation but a way of life for Cornish communities. The tranquil sea stretches out beyond, inviting thoughts of adventure and exploration. Photographer Herbert Hughes skillfully captures both the grandeur of nature and human ingenuity in this remarkable composition. The ship's intricate rigging dances against a backdrop of rugged cliffs and rolling hills, creating an enchanting contrast between man-made craftsmanship and Mother Nature's raw beauty. This evocative print transports you to another time entirely – one where coastal towns thrived on their connection to the sea. It serves as a poignant reminder that Cornwall's heritage is deeply intertwined with its relationship to fishing and seafaring traditions. Displaying this piece in your home or office allows you to immerse yourself in Cornwall's rich history while appreciating its natural wonders. Let it be a constant source of inspiration as you embark on your own journeys or simply daydream about days gone by.
