EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the late 1800s showcases the picturesque Cadgwith village and its charming harbour, nestled in the heart of Cornwall. The image offers a general view of this idyllic coastal settlement, transporting us back to an era when Victorian and Edwardian influences were shaping British society. As we explore the scene, our eyes are drawn to the upper centre of the picture where washing is hung out to dry in a field above the village. This simple act adds a touch of domesticity amidst nature's beauty. To the left of this field, we catch sight of a long narrow medieval field system that still remains under cultivation, serving as a testament to centuries-old farming practices. The photographer behind this remarkable snapshot remains unknown but has undoubtedly captured Cadgwith's timeless allure. With its whitewashed cottages huddled together along winding lanes and fishing boats dotting the harbor's azure waters, it is easy to imagine life in this close-knit community during that bygone era. Cadgwith village epitomizes quintessential Cornish charm with its rugged coastline and rich maritime heritage. It serves as a poignant reminder of how fishing villages like these played an integral role in sustaining local communities for generations. This evocative print allows us to immerse ourselves in history while appreciating Cornwall's natural beauty and cultural legacy—a true gem preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection.
