EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1894 takes us back in time to the picturesque Perprean Cove, nestled in the charming village of Coverack, Cornwall. The lens of photographer Herbert Hughes skillfully captures a breathtaking view across the cove, offering a glimpse into the idyllic Victorian era. As we peer into this snapshot of history, our eyes are immediately drawn to the quaint fishing village that dots the coastline. Its rustic charm and traditional Cornish architecture stand as a testament to its rich heritage and close-knit community. The vibrant hues of blue and white adorning these humble dwellings create a striking contrast against the rugged cliffs that guard them. Dolor Point looms majestically on one side, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to this coastal scene. Its rocky outcrops seem to whisper tales of seafaring adventures and treacherous storms weathered by brave fishermen who once called this place home. The tranquility captured within this image transports us back in time when life moved at a slower pace. It invites us to imagine strolling along sandy shores with salty sea breeze caressing our faces or witnessing local fishermen hauling their bountiful catches ashore. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this remarkable piece serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical artifact—a window into an era long gone but not forgotten. It allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of Perprean Cove but also offers insight into how communities like Coverack thrived through their deep connection with
