EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a serene coastal scene off Chapel Rock in Polperro, Cornwall. The fishing boats peacefully rest on the glistening sea, as if patiently awaiting high tide to enter the bustling harbor. The image is a photographic print from Thomas Q. Couch's manuscript "The History of Polperro" which was published in 1878 and built upon Jonathan Couch's earlier work of the same name from 1871. It offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when fishing played an integral role in this picturesque Cornish village. Photographer Lewis Harding skillfully captures not only the beauty of the landscape but also provides insight into the fashion and clothing styles prevalent during that time period. We can observe individuals donning traditional costumes, their attire reflecting both practicality and tradition. As we admire this historical photograph, we are transported to a simpler time when life revolved around nature's rhythms and maritime activities shaped communities like Polperro. This snapshot serves as a testament to Cornwall's rich coastal heritage and reminds us of its enduring connection with the sea.
