Cottages, Port Quin, St Endellion, Cornwall. June 1906
View of stone built cottages at Port Quin with stone built garden wall at the front. The end cottage is covered in what looks like ivy. Port Quin was once a busy fishing port and is said to have been mostly abandoned after all of the fishermen from the village were lost during a storm in the 19th century.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the timeless beauty of Cornwall's coastal charm, this vintage print transports us back to June 1906. The image showcases a picturesque scene in Port Quin, St Endellion, where traditional stone-built cottages stand proudly against the rugged landscape. A stone garden wall frames the front of these charming dwellings, while one cottage is adorned with a lush cloak of ivy. Port Quin itself holds a haunting history; once a bustling fishing port, it suffered an unimaginable tragedy in the 19th century when all its fishermen were lost during a devastating storm. This catastrophe led to the eventual abandonment of much of the village. Yet, amidst this melancholic backdrop emerges an enduring sense of resilience and beauty that still captivates today. The photographer Herbert Hughes/John Charles Burrow skillfully captures both the architectural details and natural surroundings in this composition. The play between light and shadow adds depth to each stone facade and highlights nature's tenacious grip on even man-made structures. This evocative print from Royal Cornwall Museum serves as a poignant reminder of Cornwall's rich heritage and its ability to inspire awe through its simple yet breathtaking landscapes. It invites viewers to reflect upon the passage of time while appreciating the enduring allure that draws visitors from far and wide.
