EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the picturesque village of St Mawes, Cornwall, in the year 1901. The scene depicts a charming street view adorned with a row of quaint cottages, each boasting high entrance doors accessed by steps. In the foreground, an elderly woman finds solace at the top of these steps, perhaps taking a moment to soak in her surroundings and reflect on days gone by. As we shift our gaze towards the street itself, two weathered fishermen come into focus. One stands tall with oars nonchalantly slung over his shoulder, while his companion engages in conversation nearby. Their presence adds an authentic touch to this snapshot from history—a reminder of the village's deep-rooted connection to its maritime heritage. Just beyond these figures lies The Rising Sun inn—an establishment that has undoubtedly witnessed countless tales unfold within its walls throughout the years. Its rustic charm and warm glow beckon passersby seeking respite or camaraderie after long days spent on land or sea. Captured through the lens of photographer Herbert Hughes, this print serves as both a visual treasure and a window into St Mawes' past. It invites us to imagine life during simpler times when daily routines were intertwined with nature's rhythms and community bonds ran deep.
