EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of herring sorting at St Ives, Cornwall, in the early 1900s. The calm, serene sea side setting contrasts sharply with the industrious activity taking place on the beach. Fishermen, dressed in traditional Edwardian attire, are seen sorting through the day's catch from their nets into boxes and baskets. The herring, still glistening with sea water, are carefully arranged, their silver scales reflecting the sunlight. The simple yet effective method of sorting the catch on the beach was a common practice during this period, allowing the fishermen to separate the desirable herring from other unwanted catches. The boats, moored nearby, are a testament to the hard work and dedication of the local fishing industry. St Ives, a historic fishing resort, has a rich maritime heritage that dates back to the 13th century. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily lives of the fishermen and their communities. The scene is reminiscent of a bygone era, where the simple pleasures of life were found in the rhythm of the sea and the bounty it provided. The sorting of herring was an essential part of the fishing process, and this photograph captures the dedication and skill of the fishermen as they worked to ensure only the finest catches were kept. The boxes and baskets, filled with the day's catch, would be transported back to the village, where they would be prepared and sold at the local market or to passing merchants. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the history and traditions of St Ives and the fishing industry that has shaped its identity for centuries.
