EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to Porthallow, St Keverne, Cornwall on a sunny day of July 2nd, 1912. The image presents a mesmerizing general view down the valley towards the quaint village and its picturesque beach. In this snapshot frozen in history, we witness a group of children eagerly posing for a photographer who stands on the sandy shores. The charm of this scene lies not only in its natural beauty but also in the authentic portrayal of life during that era. The idyllic south coast setting is adorned with traditional Cornish fishing villages nestled among charming cottages. As our gaze extends further into the distance, we are greeted by serene bays and hidden coves waiting to be explored. Herbert Hughes skillfully captures this momentous occasion, immortalizing it through his lens. His presence on the beach adds an intriguing layer to this photograph as he expertly frames these young subjects against their stunning backdrop. This remarkable piece offers us more than just visual delight; it transports us back to an era where simplicity reigned supreme and coastal communities thrived off their deep connection with the sea. It serves as a reminder of Cornwall's rich maritime heritage and invites us to appreciate its timeless beauty
