EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1904 transports us to the picturesque village of St Ives in Cornwall. The focal point of the image is Hicks Arch, a charming stone structure standing proudly in the Digey. A fisherman, his weathered face adorned with a proud smile, stands behind the arch holding a freshly caught fish. His presence adds an authentic touch to this snapshot of daily life in an Edwardian Cornish fishing village. A sign placed next to Hicks Arch catches our attention, revealing its historical significance. It informs us that this arch marks the entrance to Hicks Court, where George Hicks once resided as Portreeve during 1611 and 1624. This small detail connects us directly to the past and invites contemplation about the lives lived within these ancient walls. The photographer responsible for capturing this momentous scene is Herbert Hughes. Through his lens, he masterfully captures not only architectural beauty but also human stories intertwined with their surroundings. As we gaze upon this print from Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back in time; we can almost taste the salty sea air and hear seagulls cry overhead. This image encapsulates all that is quintessentially Cornish - rugged coastal landscapes, hardworking fishermen braving treacherous waves, and a sense of history etched into every stone
