EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the picturesque village of Porthoustock, nestled within the enchanting landscape of St Keverne on Cornwall's Lizard Peninsula. The year is 1912, and photographer Herbert Hughes skillfully captures a timeless scene that transports us to an era long gone. In this mesmerizing image, our gaze is drawn towards a row of charming thatched cottages perched atop a gentle slope. Leading up to these quaint dwellings are stone steps, weathered by years of footsteps and stories untold. These steps serve as a testament to the rich history embedded within this coastal community. The beauty lies not only in the architectural simplicity but also in the stunning natural surroundings. As we peer beyond these cottages, we catch glimpses of emerald green fields stretching out towards the sparkling azure sea. This harmonious blend between man-made structures and nature's wonders creates an idyllic setting that seems almost too perfect for reality. Porthoustock exudes Cornish charm at its finest - tranquil yet full of life; secluded yet connected with its coastal roots. It stands as a reminder of simpler times when fishing boats dotted the harbor and locals relied on their close-knit community for support. As we admire this remarkable piece from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, let it transport us back to an era where time seemed slower, where everyday moments were cherished amidst breathtaking landscapes like those found along Cornwall's rugged coastline.
