EDITORS COMMENTS
Transport yourself back in time with this print from the Royal Cornwall Museum collection. Taken by renowned photographer Herbert Hughes over a century ago, this image transports us to the picturesque coastal village of Port Isaac in June 1906. As we gaze upon the scene, our eyes are drawn to a tranquil harbor at low tide. The boats rest peacefully on the exposed seabed, their colorful sails reflecting off the calm waters. Beyond them lies an expansive view of the sea stretching towards the horizon—a reminder of Cornwall's deep connection to its maritime heritage. Perched atop a cliff is a charming school building that overlooks this idyllic setting. It stands as a testament to education and community life in Port Isaac during that era—an integral part of daily life for both young and old. This print captures not only stunning natural beauty but also provides glimpses into everyday existence in early 20th-century Cornwall. It invites us to imagine what life was like for those who called this enchanting place home—fishermen braving rough seas, children playing along these very shores, and villagers going about their daily routines against nature's ever-changing backdrop. With its timeless appeal and historical significance, this print serves as a window into our rich cultural heritage—a cherished piece of Cornish history preserved for generations to come.
