Cornish Fishwives
Blanche Courtney and Betsy Lanyon. They sold their fish in the Market Place in Penzance and door to door. And Blanche in particular, became a favourite model for the Newlyn School Painters.
Postcard depicting a Cornish fishwife in Market Jew Street, Penzance. The postcard is heavily doctored, and the 'fishwife' is probably composited into the scene.
