EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to around 1900, capturing a serene moment of fishermen with their crab pots in Gerrans, Cornwall. The image showcases the hardworking men skillfully maneuvering their boat on the foreshore, as they prepare for another day's work at sea. The composition beautifully frames the scene, allowing us to appreciate both the fishermen and their surroundings. In the distance, we catch a glimpse of Porthcurnick - its rugged cliffs and pristine beach serving as a picturesque backdrop to this snapshot of maritime life. Although the photographer remains unknown, their ability to capture such an authentic moment is commendable. This photograph transports us into a bygone era when fishing was not only a livelihood but also an integral part of Cornish culture. As we gaze upon this historical treasure, it evokes feelings of admiration for these resilient individuals who braved unpredictable waters day after day. Their dedication and expertise ensured that fresh catches would grace local tables while sustaining coastal communities. This print serves as a poignant reminder of our rich heritage and deep connection with Cornwall's seafaring traditions. It invites us to reflect on how much has changed over time while cherishing those timeless aspects that continue to shape our identity today.
