EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the early 1900s, offering a panoramic view of St Ives town and its bustling harbor in Cornwall. Taken from the vantage point of the church tower, this image captures the essence of a vibrant coastal community steeped in maritime history. The photographer behind this remarkable snapshot is believed to be Edward Ashton. In this picturesque scene, we are treated to an array of activities that define life in St Ives during that era. Cornish sailing vessels gracefully glide across the glistening waters, their sails billowing with each gust of wind. Rowing boats dot the harbor as fishermen expertly navigate their way through these busy waters, casting nets and hauling in their daily catch. The focal point of this enchanting vista is undoubtedly the iconic island standing proudly amidst it all. Its rugged beauty serves as a reminder of nature's enduring presence even amidst human activity. And towering above everything else stands a majestic lighthouse, guiding ships safely into port while adding an extra touch of charm to this already idyllic setting. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also encapsulates the spirit and soul of St Ives town and its historic harbor. It invites us to immerse ourselves in an era when fishing was at its peak and seafaring adventures were part and parcel of everyday life along Cornwall's stunning coastline.
