EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of five young ladies from Polperro, Cornwall in the late 19th century. Dressed immaculately in their Sunday best clothes, these women exude elegance and grace. The intricate details of their costumes and clothing are a testament to the fashion trends of that era. The photograph is part of the manuscript titled "The History of Polperro" by Thomas Q. Couch, published in 1878 as an expansion on Jonathan Couch's earlier work. It offers a glimpse into the lives and culture of this coastal village during that time period. Photographer Lewis Harding skillfully captured this portrait, showcasing each woman's unique personality through their poses and expressions. Their hats add a touch of sophistication to their overall appearance. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this print holds historical significance as it provides valuable insight into the lives of Cornish women in the 1860-1870s. It serves as a reminder of how fashion played an essential role in self-expression even during simpler times. Displayed at Royal Cornwall Museum, this image invites viewers to step back in time and appreciate not only the beauty but also the stories behind these remarkable individuals who were once part of Polperro's vibrant community.
