EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling St Ives harbour in Cornwall, circa 1903. The scene captures a pivotal moment in the lives of hardworking fishermen as they unload their precious catch from their sturdy boats into a waiting horse and cart. Every detail is meticulously preserved, allowing us to witness this age-old tradition with remarkable clarity. As the fishermen go about their laborious task, a group of curious boys gather on the sandy beach nearby. Their eyes sparkle with awe and fascination as they watch these skilled seafarers expertly handle their bountiful harvest. Perhaps dreaming of one day joining them out at sea or simply captivated by the spectacle before them, these young observers add an endearing touch to this historic tableau. The photographer behind this remarkable snapshot is Herbert Hughes, whose keen eye for detail has immortalized this poignant moment forever. Through his lens, we are transported back to an era when fishing was not just a livelihood but also an integral part of Cornwall's identity. This print serves as a testament to the resilience and camaraderie that defined life in St Ives during those times. It reminds us of our deep-rooted connection with nature and how communities relied on each other for survival. A true treasure from Royal Cornwall Museum that allows us to appreciate our rich maritime heritage while honoring those who shaped it long ago.
