EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the early 1860s, this print takes us back to a picturesque picnic party on the cliffs of Polperro, Cornwall. The unidentified group, dressed in their Sunday best attire, radiates joy and contentment as they bask in the stunning coastal scenery. Nestled on the east side of the harbor, they find solace amidst nature's beauty. The Duke of Cornwall pier stands adorned with fishing nets, a testament to the village's deep-rooted maritime heritage. As waves crash against rugged cliffs below them, these individuals revel in each other's company and relish their delectable feast spread out before them. Preserved within Lewis Harding's photographic lens is not just an image but a glimpse into history itself. This print originates from Thomas Q. Couch’s manuscript "The History of Polperro" published in 1878 as an expansion upon Jonathan Couch's earlier work. Beyond its aesthetic appeal lies a narrative that transcends time; it speaks volumes about Cornish culture and traditions during the 19th century. The intricacies of their clothing reflect societal norms while also showcasing individuality through personal style choices. This evocative photograph transports us to an era long gone but forever cherished at Royal Cornwall Museum—a window into a bygone age where picnics were treasured moments shared amongst loved ones against breathtaking coastal backdrops.
