EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to the enchanting Victorian era, specifically the 1890s. The image showcases Barnoon Hill in St Ives, Cornwall, offering a breathtaking view over the church towards the picturesque Hayle estuary. Renowned photographer Edward Ashton skillfully captures this idyllic scene, transporting us to a time when life was simpler and nature's beauty reigned supreme. In this snapshot of history, we are reminded of Cornwall's rich fishing heritage as fishing boats dot the tranquil waters below. These vessels serve as a testament to the region's deep connection with its maritime roots and provide a glimpse into daily life during that era. The composition exudes an air of tranquility and serenity; one can almost feel the gentle sea breeze and hear seagulls soaring overhead. The Victorian charm is palpable in every detail - from the architecture of St Ives' church standing proudly on top of Barnoon Hill to the traditional Cornish cottages nestled along its slopes. This photograph serves as a window into an era where simplicity met natural grandeur, evoking feelings of nostalgia for those who long for bygone days. As we admire this remarkable piece captured by Edward Ashton, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how Cornwall's stunning landscape has captivated hearts throughout centuries. It stands as both a testament to our shared history and an invitation to explore further into Cornwall's vibrant past.
