EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the late 1800s, this print transports us to St Ives harbour in Cornwall, where a bustling scene unfolds before our eyes. In the foreground, a group of hardworking individuals engage in the age-old tradition of cleaning fish on the sandy beach. Amongst them are men and boys adorned in traditional Cornish attire - their distinct hats and ganseys reflecting their deep-rooted connection to the sea. The presence of one woman amidst this predominantly male gathering is intriguing, hinting at her perhaps being an integral part of this thriving fishing community. Baskets brimming with freshly caught fish lie nearby, evidence of a successful day's work. In the background, we catch glimpses of majestic fishing vessels that have weathered countless storms while venturing into treacherous waters for their bountiful harvests. Notable among them are SS 13, SS 602, and SS 626 - names etched into maritime history as symbols of resilience and seafaring prowess. Adding charm to this historic tableau is a horse-drawn cart parked nearby; its presence evoking nostalgia for simpler times when horsepower ruled transportation. Although the identity of the photographer remains unknown, they have gifted us with an extraordinary glimpse into daily life at St Ives harbour during a bygone era. This remarkable print serves as both a testament to Cornwall's rich maritime heritage and an invitation to immerse ourselves in its timeless beauty.
