EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the picturesque fishing village of Polperro, Cornwall, around 1900. The scene showcases a serene cove where a weathered fishing boat rests peacefully on the glistening waters. Its registration number FY168 proudly displayed suggests its origin from the nearby town of Fowey. Lobster pots can be spotted floating in the crystal-clear water, indicating the thriving fishing industry that once thrived along this stunning coastline. The image transports us to an era when hardworking fishermen braved unpredictable seas and relied on their trusty vessels for their livelihoods. These brave souls would set sail each day, battling against nature's forces to bring home bountiful catches of fish and seafood. The Victorian and Edwardian charm is evident in every detail captured by the unknown photographer who skillfully framed this momentous snapshot. The rugged coastal rocks serve as a dramatic backdrop, emphasizing both the beauty and harshness of life at sea. As we gaze upon this timeless photograph, we are reminded of Cornwall's rich maritime heritage and its deep connection with its coastal communities. It serves as a poignant reminder of how our ancestors worked tirelessly to sustain themselves while embracing the raw power and beauty of nature that surrounded them
