EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1921, we are transported back in time to the picturesque Perranporth beach in Cornwall. The image captures a moment of pure joy and triumph as two men proudly display their impressive catch of four large fish on a stick. Standing beside them is a little boy, his face beaming with excitement and curiosity. The scene exudes an atmosphere of leisurely delight, showcasing the timeless appeal of fishing as both a recreational activity and a means for sustenance. Against the backdrop of rolling waves crashing onto the sandy shore, these individuals find solace and adventure amidst nature's bounty. Photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully frames this snapshot, immortalizing not only the fishermen but also the essence of Cornish coastal life during that era. Their attire reflects the fashion trends of the time - waistcoats neatly buttoned up against sea breezes - while their carefree expressions reveal an unspoken bond between generations. This photograph transports us to another era when beaches were sanctuaries for relaxation and exploration. It invites us to ponder how much has changed over nearly a century while reminding us that some things remain constant: our love for coastal landscapes, our desire to connect with nature's wonders, and our ability to find joy in simple pleasures like spending quality time by the sea with loved ones.
