Text description beneath the picture (subject to any spelling errors due to the OCR program used)
NEWLYN, NEAR PENZANCE.
The harbour, one of the largest on the south coast, is a good deal used in the pilchard and mackerel fishery; the south pier has a lighthouse at the end. Newlyn (in the parish of Paul) is the home of the Newlyn School of Artists. In Paul churchyard lies buried Dolly Pentreath, who died in 1778, and is said to have been the last person who spoke the ancient Cornish language. The town in the background is Penzance, well known for its genial climate, which compares favourably with Mediterranean watering places. The Spaniards caused considerable trouble in the neighbourhood in 1595, and some of the inhabitants were carried into slavery by Moorish pirates in 1604.
