EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1900, we are transported back in time to the picturesque fishing village of St Ives, Cornwall. The image captures a moment frozen in history, showcasing "The Digey" a quaint and charming street lined with cottages. At the heart of this scene stands a young woman, radiating both strength and tenderness as she cradles a child in her arms. Her presence exudes an air of resilience that is characteristic of the Victorian era. With each step leading up to her cottage, one can almost feel the echoes of generations past who have traversed these very same stairs. The photographer behind this remarkable snapshot remains unknown; however, their lens has immortalized not only this particular woman but also encapsulated the essence of life within a Cornish fishing village during that period. The simplicity and authenticity captured here speak volumes about the daily struggles and joys experienced by those living in close-knit communities like St Ives. This evocative print transports us to an era where life was intimately intertwined with nature's rhythms - where fishermen set sail at dawn while women tended to their homes and children awaited their return on rocky shores. It serves as a poignant reminder of our shared human history and offers glimpses into lives lived long ago. Displayed proudly at Royal Cornwall Museum, this photograph invites visitors to delve into the rich tapestry woven by countless individuals who called St Ives home over centuries gone by.
