EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back to the charming streets of Polperro, Cornwall in the late 19th century. Five young boys, brimming with youthful energy and mischief, are seated on a set of weathered stone steps. Each boy proudly holds a musical instrument, showcasing their love for music and perhaps even hinting at aspirations of becoming accomplished musicians someday. In the center sits a boy with an accordion nestled against his chest, its bellows ready to produce lively melodies. To his left stands another lad gripping a triangle tightly between his fingers, poised to add rhythmic accents to their impromptu street concert. On the right side of this merry group, two boys share the responsibility of holding a zither – an intriguing stringed instrument that captivates both players and observers alike. As we delve deeper into this snapshot frozen in time, our eyes are drawn towards a curious child peering through an iron gate on the right-hand side. This little observer adds an element of intrigue and mystery to the scene as we wonder what thoughts or dreams might be racing through their mind. Preserved within this photographic print from Thomas Q. Couch's manuscript "The History of Polperro" captured by photographer Lewis Harding, is not just an image but also a glimpse into the vibrant village life that once thrived here. The spirit of these Cornish children resonates across generations as they celebrate music amidst picturesque cobblestone streets bathed in sunlight.
