EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the picturesque Gorran Haven harbour in Cornwall on a serene summer day, specifically the 7th of June, 1909. The scene depicts three hardworking fishermen diligently attending to their nets on the quay. Their weathered faces and worn-out clothing are testament to their arduous lives at sea. The composition is framed perfectly, capturing not only the essence of these skilled fishermen but also providing a glimpse into daily life in this charming coastal village over a century ago. The tranquil waters of the harbor reflect the vibrant blue sky above, creating a harmonious backdrop for this snapshot frozen in time. Amidst these seasoned seafarers stands an elegant gentleman on the right side of the picture. His presence adds an air of mystery and intrigue - perhaps he is an observer or even someone with authority overseeing their work. Photographer Herbert Hughes skillfully captures every detail with his lens, showcasing his talent for documenting moments that would otherwise be lost to history. This remarkable image now resides within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, serving as a visual portal connecting present-day viewers with Cornwall's rich maritime heritage. As we gaze upon this evocative photograph print, we can almost hear the sounds of seagulls overhead and feel the salty breeze against our skin. It serves as both a tribute to those who have dedicated their lives to fishing and a reminder of how much has changed since that summer day in 1909 when Gorran Haven's harbor was bustling
