EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the picturesque town of St Ives in Cornwall during the 1880s. The general view over the town and harbour showcases a scene untouched by modern development, capturing its raw beauty before significant changes took place. Hand-coloured with meticulous attention to detail, this image transports us to an era where simplicity reigned supreme. The panoramic vista reveals a charming coastal landscape adorned with sandy beaches, rugged rocks, and crystal-clear waters that stretch as far as the eye can see. Nestled within this idyllic setting are quaint buildings that dot the shoreline, their architectural charm adding character to the scene. A prominent church stands tall amidst these structures, serving as a beacon of faith for both locals and visitors alike. Boats gently sway in harmony with the gentle waves at the bustling harbour, hinting at St Ives' rich maritime history. This vibrant hub was yet to witness significant transformations such as West Quay's construction or Smeatons Pier's extension in 1888 – events that would shape its future identity. Numbered as part of a series of glass lantern slides produced by William Charles Hughes from London, this particular print captures not only nature's splendor but also serves as a historical artifact documenting St Ives' past glory. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing photograph today, we are reminded of how time has shaped our surroundings while cherishing moments frozen forever through artistry and preservation.
