EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the bustling outer harbour approach of Polperro, Cornwall. The scene showcases fishing boats gracefully moored off Chapel Rock, also known as Peak Rock. As we peer through time, our eyes are drawn to the men and boys dotting the landscape, engaged in their maritime activities. Among them sits a distinguished figure wearing a stove-pipe hat - possibly Jonathan Couch, the esteemed doctor of Polperro. The photograph captures an authentic moment frozen in time from Lewis Harding's lens. It is part of the photographic print collection derived from Thomas Q. Couch's manuscript "The History of Polperro" published in 1878 as an expansion on Jonathan Couch's earlier work with the same name. Cornish coastal life unfolds before our eyes within this image; its charm emanates from every detail captured by Harding's camera. The rugged beauty of Cornwall's coast serves as a stunning backdrop for this snapshot into history. The attire worn by individuals in this photograph reflects the fashion trends prevalent during that era. As we delve into this remarkable piece of visual heritage preserved at Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported to another time and place - one where fishing was not only an occupation but also an integral part of community life along these shores.
