EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the picturesque coastal village of Porthallow in 1897. Taken from a hill in St Keverne, Cornwall, the view down the valley reveals a charming scene that embodies the essence of Cornish countryside life. In the distance, we catch a glimpse of the sparkling sea, its waves crashing against the rugged coastline. At the bottom of a narrow lane, a horse-drawn cart patiently makes its way up towards us after delivering goods or perhaps returning from an idyllic day at the beach. To our left stands a quaint whitewashed cottage with a thatched roof, exuding traditional charm. A group of elegantly dressed ladies gather at its doorway, seemingly engaged in conversation or simply enjoying each other's company on this sunny day. The photograph captures not only beautiful scenery but also provides insight into daily life during this era. It offers glimpses into how transportation was carried out and showcases women's fashion and social interactions within this tight-knit fishing cove community. Photographer Herbert Hughes skillfully immortalized this moment in time for future generations to appreciate and reflect upon. This remarkable image is now preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum as part of their collection celebrating Cornwall's rich history and heritage.
