EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from August/September 1921, we are transported back in time to the picturesque beach of Perranporth in Cornwall. The scene depicts a fisherman named Frank Roberts, proudly displaying his bountiful catch on a line. With the mighty Atlantic Ocean as his backdrop, Frank's expertise is evident as he skillfully fishes for bass. The image captures the essence of leisure activities during that era, showcasing how locals embraced their coastal surroundings for both sustenance and enjoyment. Arthur William Jordan, the talented photographer behind this snapshot, perfectly encapsulates the beauty and tranquility of Perranzabuloe's sandy shores. As our eyes wander across the frame, we can almost feel the salty sea breeze caressing our faces and hear waves crashing against the coast. The Cornish coastline has long been revered for its rugged charm and natural splendor; it remains an idyllic destination to this day. This historical photograph serves as a timeless reminder of humanity's deep connection with nature. It invites us to reflect on simpler times when fishing was not only a livelihood but also an opportunity to immerse oneself in solitude amidst breathtaking scenery. Preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum, this remarkable piece allows us to appreciate Cornwall's rich heritage while celebrating its enduring allure—where land meets sea in perfect harmony.
