EDITORS COMMENTS
Transported back in time to the picturesque coastal village of Porthoustock, St Keverne, Cornwall. This print captures a serene moment on the 2nd of July, 1912. The view showcases the rugged beauty of the foreshore and stone quarry quay, where bustling activity once thrived. Nestled amidst this scenic backdrop is a charming thatched cottage, its quaint charm adding character to an already idyllic scene. As our gaze wanders further into the frame, we catch sight of wheeled carts patiently waiting their turn for loading or unloading goods from ships anchored nearby. These carts were undoubtedly vital in supporting the local fishing industry that flourished within this vibrant community. To the right side of this remarkable photograph stands a majestic cutter ship gracefully floating upon calm waters. Its presence reminds us of Porthoustock's rich maritime heritage and its deep connection with seafaring traditions. Captured through the lens by renowned photographer Herbert Hughes, this image offers a glimpse into a bygone era when life was simpler yet filled with hard work and resilience. It serves as a testament to both Cornish history and culture while preserving memories etched within these shores. This extraordinary snapshot transports us to an era long past—a reminder of how time may change landscapes but cannot diminish their inherent beauty.
