EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the early 1900s, we are transported back in time to the North Pier of Newquay, Cornwall. The image captures two rugged fishermen proudly displaying their impressive catch - a colossal ray that stretches across their arms. Their weathered faces tell tales of countless hours spent battling the mighty Atlantic waves. Dressed in traditional Cornish attire and sporting distinctive hats, these men embody the spirit of a bygone era when fishing was not just an occupation but a way of life. Their worn-out clothing bears witness to years of hard work and perseverance on these treacherous shores. Photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully freezes this moment in time, allowing us to marvel at both the sheer size of the ray and the determination etched onto these fishermen's faces. It is as if they have conquered nature itself, triumphantly showcasing their prize for all to see. This remarkable photograph serves as a testament to Cornwall's rich maritime heritage and its deep connection with the sea. It transports us back to an era where fishing was not only about sustenance but also about camaraderie and shared experiences on these hallowed piers. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this evocative snapshot invites us to reflect upon our roots while celebrating those who braved unpredictable waters in pursuit of their livelihoods.
