EDITORS COMMENTS
Transported back in time to the enchanting fishing village of St Ives, Cornwall, this print captures the essence of Victorian life in 1899. The picturesque scene unfolds on Back Road, where quaint cottages line the narrow street. Standing proudly on the left is Ann Clarke's house, its charm emanating from every weathered brick and thatched roof. A fascinating detail adorns a wooden door below - a vibrant poster announcing the eagerly anticipated carnival and regatta scheduled for Monday, August 21st. This lively event promises merriment and excitement for all who attend. Atop the steps outside Ann Clarke's house stands a woman accompanied by two children. Their presence adds an endearing touch to this snapshot frozen in time. One can only wonder about their thoughts and aspirations amidst such idyllic surroundings. The identity of the photographer remains unknown, yet their lens has immortalized a moment that transports us into an era long gone but forever cherished. Through this image, we are granted a glimpse into daily life within this close-knit community; where hardworking fishermen set sail at dawn while villagers go about their routines with grace and resilience. This remarkable print from Royal Cornwall Museum allows us to appreciate not just the beauty of St Ives' rustic streetscape but also offers an invaluable window into history itself.
