EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to the picturesque village of Coverack, nestled along the rugged coastline of St Keverne, Cornwall. The year is 1908, and we find ourselves gazing upon the rear view of Coverack Post Office as seen from the tranquil harbor. The image beautifully captures a slice of Edwardian life in this quaint Cornish fishing village. The post office stands proudly amidst a backdrop of charming cottages adorned with blooming flowers and ivy-covered walls. Its whitewashed exterior exudes an air of simplicity and authenticity that perfectly complements its surroundings. Photographer Herbert Hughes skillfully frames this scene, allowing our eyes to wander towards the bustling harbor beyond. Fishing boats bob gently on calm waters while local fishermen prepare for their daily catch, their weathered faces reflecting years spent at sea. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, it's impossible not to be transported by its nostalgic charm. This photograph encapsulates a moment when traditional village life thrived against a backdrop of breathtaking natural beauty. Whether you're drawn to Edwardian history or have an affinity for Cornish culture, this print serves as a window into another era—a testament to both the enduring spirit of Coverack and the timeless allure of coastal communities like it.
