EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to July 1912, capturing a picturesque scene of Porthallow, St Keverne in Cornwall. The image showcases the idyllic charm of this quaint fishing village on the south coast. In this snapshot, we are transported to a serene beach where cottages line the shore and boats gently bob in the crystal-clear waters. One particular boat catches our attention with its distinctive number FH236 painted on its side. Two men can be seen aboard, their weathered faces reflecting years spent at sea. As we explore further into the frame, our gaze falls upon an array of fishing equipment scattered across the boat's deck. It is evident that these men have dedicated their lives to providing sustenance for their community through their hard work as fishermen. Adding a touch of innocence and domesticity to this coastal tableau is a young girl who stands nearby. Her presence reminds us that life continues amidst nature's beauty and challenges. Not far from her, laundry hangs out to dry against one of the charming cottages dotting the landscape. This glimpse into daily life adds depth and authenticity to this timeless photograph captured by renowned photographer Herbert Hughes. Through this evocative image, we are reminded of Cornwall's rich maritime heritage and its enduring connection with traditional fishing villages like Porthallow.
