EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1908 showcases a mesmerizing general view of Porthoustock, a quaint fishing village nestled in the picturesque St Keverne region of Cornwall. The photographer behind this remarkable shot is none other than Herbert Hughes, who masterfully captures the essence of coastal life in this Cornish gem. The image reveals an enchanting panorama of the east side of the beach and village, where boats rest peacefully on the shore. The rugged beauty of the coastline is evident as it gracefully meets with the azure waters that stretch out into infinity. One cannot help but be drawn to the charming thatched cottages dotting the landscape, exuding an old-world charm unique to these traditional fishing villages. Porthoustock's rich history comes alive through this photograph - once known for its bustling quarry industry, evidence can still be seen in remnants scattered along its shores. As part of Cornwall's renowned Lizard Peninsula, Porthoustock embodies all that is magical about coastal living; it offers respite from everyday life and transports visitors to a simpler time. Herbert Hughes' skillful lens has immortalized this moment in time, allowing us to glimpse into a bygone era when life revolved around sea-faring pursuits and close-knit communities. This print serves as both a historical treasure and an invitation to explore Cornwall's hidden gems for ourselves.
