EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time with this print from the Royal Cornwall Museum's collection. Taken in 1897 by renowned photographer Herbert Hughes, it offers a fascinating snapshot of Coverack, a quaint coastal village nestled in the heart of Cornwall. Transport yourself to an era where simplicity and natural beauty reigned supreme. The image showcases a breathtaking view of the beach and bustling harbour, capturing the essence of daily life in this idyllic seaside community. As your eyes wander across the scene, you'll notice a woman standing on the right-hand side with her camera and tripod—a pioneering figure ahead of her time. Intriguingly, she embodies both curiosity and determination as she captures moments frozen forever within this timeless photograph. Her presence hints at an emerging fascination with photography during that period—an art form that would go on to shape our collective visual history. Beyond its historical significance lies an enchanting glimpse into leisurely activities enjoyed by locals and visitors alike—Cornish families paddling along the shoreline under glorious sunshine. Their laughter echoes through generations as they relish carefree moments amidst nature's embrace. This remarkable print encapsulates not only Cornish heritage but also celebrates human connection with land and sea—a testament to our enduring relationship with these rugged landscapes throughout centuries past
