EDITORS COMMENTS
Transporting us back to the early 1900s, this print captures the essence of St Ives, Cornwall. The focal point is a magnificent Seine boat named Rechabite, as it gracefully maneuvers through the crystal-clear waters of Porthminster beach. The sight of this traditional fishing vessel evokes a sense of nostalgia and admiration for the rich maritime heritage that has shaped this coastal town. The image showcases Cornish men skillfully drawing in a seine net, an essential tool used by local fishermen during that era. This intricate net hangs vertically in the water, its bottom edge weighed down while floats keep its top edge buoyant. It is fascinating to witness their expertise and dedication to their craft. Surrounded by rugged rocks and nestled against charming buildings, St Ives exudes undeniable charm even in those early years. The picturesque landscape serves as a perfect backdrop for this snapshot frozen in time. It's worth noting that 'Rechabite' holds special significance beyond being just another boat name; it represents individuals who chose abstinence from alcoholic beverages - an admirable choice reflecting discipline and self-control. This remarkable photograph was captured by an unknown photographer whose talent immortalized not only the scene but also our connection with history. As we gaze upon this print at Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported into a world where hard work met breathtaking natural beauty.
