EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the picturesque Polperro Harbour in Cornwall, during the summer of 1927. The scene is filled with an air of tranquility as fishing smacks gracefully float on the calm waters, their sails gently billowing in the breeze. Bernard Alfieri's keen eye for detail captures every aspect of this charming coastal village. The boats, lined up along the harbor, tell tales of a thriving fishing industry that has sustained generations of locals. Each vessel carries its own unique character and history, weathered by years spent at sea. As we gaze upon this snapshot from the past, we are transported to a time when life revolved around these very boats - their arrival bringing hope and sustenance to the tight-knit community. Polperro Harbour itself exudes charm and authenticity; its quaint cottages nestled against rugged cliffs create a postcard-perfect backdrop for daily maritime activities. This photograph encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also showcases Cornwall's enduring connection with its coastal heritage. Bernard Alfieri's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the grandeur of nature surrounding Polperro Harbour and the resilience of those who made their living from it. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst changing times, some things remain constant: our reliance on nature's bounty and our ability to adapt while preserving traditions that define us. As we admire this remarkable piece from Memory Lane Prints, let it transport us back to an era where simplicity
