EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the early 1900s, this vintage print transports us to a bygone era at St Ias Well in St Ives, Cornwall. In this scene, a group of four individuals can be seen filling their buckets from the crystal-clear waters of the well. Nestled at the foot of Porthmeor Hill, this historic site holds great significance as it is believed to have been named after St Ia, an Irish Princess who introduced Christianity to these lands around AD 500. The photographer behind this remarkable image is S. C. Fox, whose lens skillfully captures every detail and emotion within the frame. A Victorian man stands tall amidst three young girls adorned in aprons and Cornish hats - their presence adding charm and innocence to the scene. The weathered stones forming a protective wall around the well create a sense of timelessness. Notably absent from this caption are any references to commercial use or affiliations with any company; instead, our focus lies solely on appreciating the historical value and cultural significance that emanates from this photograph. It serves as a poignant reminder of how traditions endure through generations while showcasing Cornwall's rich heritage.
