EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the picturesque Beach at Portloe, nestled within the enchanting fishing village of Veryan, Cornwall. The year is 1912, and six sturdy boats dot the shoreline as fishermen diligently carry out their tasks. In this snapshot of coastal life, we witness a scene brimming with activity and purpose. Our attention is drawn to two fishermen engrossed in their work. One carefully stows a line, his weathered hands expertly maneuvering through the intricate process. Meanwhile, another engages in an unidentified task on the beach; perhaps he's gutting fish or digging for bait – his concentration evident from his focused expression. Amidst this bustling atmosphere stands a third man seated comfortably in one of the boats. His relaxed posture suggests that he may be taking a momentary break from his laborious endeavors or simply enjoying a tranquil pause amidst nature's beauty. The photographer behind this remarkable capture is Herbert Hughes, who skillfully frames not only these hardworking men but also showcases Cornwall's breathtaking coastline. Majestic cliffs tower above them while rugged rocks jut out defiantly into the sea – all forming part of an awe-inspiring backdrop that characterizes this stunning cove. As if choreographed by nature itself, a solitary seagull gracefully glides across the frame – its presence serving as a reminder of both tranquility and resilience against turbulent tides. This evocative print from Royal Cornwall Museum encapsulates not just scenes
