EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the picturesque village of Porthallow, nestled within the enchanting landscape of St Keverne, Cornwall. The year is 1912, and as we gaze upon this timeless image, our eyes are drawn across the fields that stretch out before us. In the distance lies a charming cluster of cottages, their thatched roofs blending harmoniously with the rugged countryside. However, it is not just these quaint dwellings that captivate our attention; rather, it is a majestic tree standing proudly in the foreground. Its branches reach towards the heavens as if trying to touch eternity itself. This ancient sentinel adds depth and character to an already breathtaking scene. The photographer behind this remarkable composition is none other than Herbert Hughes. Through his lens, he has captured not only a moment frozen in time but also a glimpse into Cornwall's rich heritage. The region's idyllic countryside and coastal villages have long been celebrated for their beauty and tranquility. As we immerse ourselves in this photograph, one cannot help but imagine life in Porthallow during those bygone days—a fishing cove teeming with activity; locals going about their daily routines amidst nature's splendor; perhaps even children playing beneath the shade of that very tree. This stunning print from Royal Cornwall Museum transports us to another era—an era where simplicity reigned supreme and where every corner held its own unique story waiting to be discovered on "the lizard" peninsula.
