Capturing the Essence of Cornish Fishing Heritage - Setting the Net at St Ives, Cornwall County Fisheries Exhibition
EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time to July 1893 with this print titled "Setting the net, St Ives". Transported to a picturesque beach in Cornwall, we witness three hardworking men standing amidst a fleet of fishing boats. Their weathered faces and sturdy postures tell tales of resilience and dedication to their trade. As our gaze wanders through the scene, we catch sight of a seated boy on the right, perhaps learning from his experienced elders or eagerly awaiting his turn to join them. This image encapsulates not only an occupation but also a way of life passed down through generations. The photograph is part of an extraordinary series of glass lantern slides meticulously documenting the renowned Fisheries Exhibition held in Truro during that summer month. Number 38 in this collection offers us a glimpse into an era when fishing was not just commerce but also intertwined with local culture and identity. Immerse yourself in Victorian-era Cornwall as you explore this remarkable visual record. The main exhibition site atop Lemon Street served as a hub for showcasing all aspects related to fishing and fisheries. From shows highlighting various techniques to festivals celebrating bountiful catches, it was an event brimming with pride for Cornish maritime heritage. This print captures more than just history; it encapsulates the spirit and resilience embedded within every fisherman's heart along these rugged shores.
