EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to a bygone era in Polperro, Cornwall during the 1860-1870s. In this charming image, we see five little girls posing together, showcasing the innocence and beauty of childhood. The group is composed of two older girls who stand tall and proud, flanked by two toddlers on either side. At the center lies a precious baby, cradled lovingly in their arms. The second girl from the left is believed to be Jane Ann Libby, adding a personal touch to this historical snapshot. Their attire reflects the fashion trends of that time period - delicate dresses with intricate details and ruffled collars adorn these young ladies. Each outfit seems carefully chosen to highlight their individuality while maintaining an air of elegance. Photographer Lewis Harding skillfully captures this moment frozen in time, allowing us to peer into the lives of these children from centuries ago. Their expressions are filled with curiosity and wonder as they gaze at something beyond our viewfinder. This photographic print originates from "The History of Polperro" manuscript by Thomas Q. Couch (1878), building upon Jonathan Couch's earlier work published in 1871. It serves as a visual testament to Cornish heritage and offers insight into how people dressed during this period. As we admire this remarkable piece of history preserved through photography, let us appreciate its cultural significance rather than considering it for commercial use alone.
