EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of Port Quin, a small coastal village in Cornwall. Taken by photographer Charles Woolf in 1969, it showcases a picturesque view of traditional cottages nestled on the north side of the beach, with the charming harbour wall gracing the foreground. Port Quin's rich history is evident in this image; once a bustling fishing port, it suffered a tragic fate when all its fishermen were lost during a devastating storm in the 19th century. The remnants of this past can be felt as you gaze upon these cottages that have stood resiliently against time. The composition exudes tranquility and serenity, with soft hues highlighting the Cornish charm that has enchanted visitors for centuries. The rugged coastline and pristine sandy beach create an idyllic backdrop for these quaint dwellings. As you immerse yourself in this photograph, you can almost hear echoes of laughter and feel the warmth emanating from these beloved homes. It serves as a poignant reminder of both resilience and loss - a testament to human strength amidst nature's fury. This print from Royal Cornwall Museum encapsulates not only the natural beauty but also preserves an important piece of local history. It invites us to reflect on our connection to land and sea while appreciating how communities endure through adversity.
