EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from June 1906 takes us back in time to the quaint village of Temple Bar, nestled in the picturesque coastal region of Port Isaac, Cornwall. The image beautifully captures a row of charming cottages that exude an air of timeless elegance. Their stone walls and thatched roofs stand as testaments to the enduring architectural heritage of this enchanting place. In the foreground, we are introduced to an elderly lady named Kathrine or Catherine Richards, affectionately known as Catrin by those who knew her well. With a weathered face and wise eyes filled with stories untold, she becomes the focal point of this snapshot frozen in time. Clad in traditional Cornish attire, her presence adds depth and character to this already captivating scene. The photographer behind this remarkable composition is Herbert Hughes, whose skilled lens has immortalized not only these cottages but also a glimpse into the life and spirit of Temple Bar over a century ago. Through his lens, we can almost hear the crashing waves against nearby cliffs and feel the salty sea breeze on our skin. This print serves as a valuable artifact housed within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection—a window into history for all who seek to understand and appreciate Cornwall's rich cultural tapestry. It reminds us that even amidst changing times, there are places like Temple Bar where tradition endures and where individuals like Catrin leave an indelible mark on their communities for generations to come.
