EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling fishing scene in St Ives, Cornwall during the 1870s. The image beautifully captures a picturesque beach and harbour, with an array of fishing boats dotting the waters. Among them is the boat SS502 "Prince" which sadly met its end in 1911 but remains immortalized in this photograph. The composition not only showcases the maritime heritage of Cornwall but also provides a glimpse into daily life at that time. A group of children can be seen frolicking on the sandy beach, their laughter echoing through history. These youngsters are oblivious to the significance of this moment frozen in time - a testament to their innocence amidst a world driven by trade and industry. Edward Ashton, the talented photographer behind this remarkable shot, skillfully frames both land and sea elements within his lens. The sturdy buildings lining the coast stand as witnesses to centuries-old traditions while masts tower above like sentinels guarding against unseen perils. As we gaze upon this evocative print from Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back to an era when men braved unpredictable tides and treacherous waves for their livelihoods. It serves as a poignant reminder of our connection to nature's bounty and how it has shaped communities throughout history
