EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the charming streets of St Ives, Cornwall, in the year 1904. Standing at the bottom of Fish Street, we are transported to an era where life moved at a different pace. The image captures the essence of this historic fishing village with its narrow cobbled street lined with picturesque buildings. On the right side of the frame, figures can be seen going about their daily routines. Perhaps they are locals engaged in animated conversations or visitors taking in the sights and sounds of this bustling coastal town. Their presence adds a sense of liveliness and authenticity to this snapshot frozen in time. To our left stands The Sloop Inn, an iconic establishment that has stood witness to countless stories throughout history. Its weathered facade tells tales of sailors seeking refuge after long journeys at sea and locals sharing laughter over pints of ale. The photographer behind this remarkable piece remains uncertain; it could have been Herbert Hughes or John Charles Burrow who expertly captured this scene for posterity's sake. Regardless, their keen eye for detail allows us today to immerse ourselves into a bygone era filled with charm and character. As we gaze upon this print from Royal Cornwall Museum, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance as it transports us back to a simpler time when Fish Street was alive with activity and St Ives was just beginning to carve out its place as one of Cornwall's most beloved destinations.
