EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to a picturesque scene of Portloe, Veryan, Cornwall on a sunny day in August 1911. The image beautifully captures the essence of coastal life and the close-knit communities that thrived along this rugged stretch of coastline. In the foreground, a number of fishing boats are drawn up on the slipway, their weathered hulls telling tales of countless journeys at sea. These vessels were not just tools for livelihood but also symbols of resilience and unity within these Cornish villages. Nestled behind the slipway are charming cottages with thatched roofs and whitewashed walls. These humble dwellings served as homes for generations of fishermen and their families who relied on the bounty of the sea for sustenance. It's fascinating to imagine how these buildings have stood witness to both triumphs and hardships over many years. Perched atop a cliff overlooking this idyllic cove is an enigmatic figure - a man taking respite from his daily routine perhaps, gazing out onto the vast expanse before him. His presence adds depth to this already captivating composition, reminding us that humans have always sought solace in nature's embrace. The photographer behind this remarkable snapshot is Arthur William Jordan whose keen eye has immortalized this moment in time. Through his lens, we can almost hear seagulls cry overhead while feeling gentle ocean breezes brush against our skin. This print serves as a poignant reminder of Cornwall's
