EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1906 takes us back in time to the charming village of Port Isaac, Cornwall. Standing proudly amidst the picturesque landscape is The Dolphin Inn, a beloved establishment that has been at the heart of this coastal community for generations. Owned by the esteemed proprietor Robert Horwill, it exudes an air of warmth and hospitality. Intriguingly, this image captures two figures who add life and character to the scene. On the inn's stone steps stands Lilly Worden, a young girl whose innocent gaze hints at a world filled with curiosity and wonder. Beside her stands Rachel Thomas, framed within the doorway - perhaps she is one of The Dolphin Inn's loyal patrons or even a member of its dedicated staff. The photographer behind this remarkable snapshot is Herbert Hughes, whose keen eye effortlessly immortalizes these fleeting moments in history. Through his lens, we are transported to an era where simplicity reigned supreme and every corner held stories waiting to be told. Preserved meticulously by the Royal Cornwall Museum, this print not only offers us a glimpse into Port Isaac's past but also serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with capturing memories through imagery. It reminds us that beneath layers of time lie tales worth unraveling – tales that connect us deeply with our heritage and remind us of how far we have come while cherishing what remains unchanged: community spirit and cherished establishments like The Dolphin Inn.
