EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from June 1906, we are transported back in time to the charming village of Port Isaac in Cornwall. The image captures two young girls standing proudly at the top of cottage steps, their names revealed as Gwendoline and possibly Mutton. Their innocent smiles reflect a sense of joy and curiosity, perfectly encapsulating the carefree spirit of childhood. The photographer behind this remarkable snapshot is Herbert Hughes, whose skilled lens has immortalized this moment for generations to come. Through his artistry, he has not only captured the essence of these two girls but also beautifully framed Fore Street as a backdrop - a bustling street filled with quaint cottages that exude Cornish charm. This print serves as a precious window into history, offering us an intimate glimpse into life over a century ago. It transports us to an era where simplicity reigned supreme and community thrived within these narrow streets. Preserved by the Royal Cornwall Museum, this piece holds immense cultural value for both locals and visitors alike. It allows us to appreciate the timeless beauty of Port Isaac while honoring its rich heritage. As we admire this photograph today, let it serve as a reminder that even amidst rapid change and progress, some things remain constant: the enduring allure of Cornwall's landscapes and its ability to capture hearts through every passing generation.
