EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 1900s, offering a mesmerizing glimpse of Cadgwith harbour in Cornwall. As we peer through the lens, our eyes are immediately drawn to the picturesque scene unfolding before us. The tranquil waters of the sea gently lap against the shore, where a group of men and women have gathered by some small boats. Their presence adds life and character to this snapshot from history, as they stand together on the rugged coastline of Cadgwith harbour. Their attire reflects an era long gone by, with men donning traditional fishing gear and women clad in elegant dresses that flutter softly in the breeze. The photographer behind this remarkable image is Canon Henry Holroyd Mills, whose keen eye for detail has perfectly captured both the natural beauty of Cornwall's coast and its rich fishing heritage. Through his lens, we can almost taste the salty air and hear echoes of conversations carried on by those present at that very moment. This print serves as a poignant reminder of Cornwall's deep-rooted connection to its maritime past. It invites us to reflect upon a time when fishing was not just an occupation but also a way of life for many communities along these shores. As we admire this piece from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, let it transport us back to an era filled with simplicity and resilience—a testament to both human spirit and nature's enduring allure.
