EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Catch of Colour: A Fisherman with a Vibrant Coley Fish in St. Ives, Cornwall, 1970s" This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the essence of the traditional fishing industry in the picturesque coastal town of St. Ives, Cornwall, during the 1970s. The image focuses on a local fisherman, his ginger beard and weathered face etched with the signs of a life spent at sea. He stands proudly next to a large, yellow coley fish or pollock, its scales shimmering with iridescent hues. The fisherman wears the typical attire of the region: a flat cap, waterproof dungarees, and thick, rope-soled boots. A chain and ropes are draped over his shoulder, reminding us of the hard labour and physical strength required for this ancient and essential livelihood. The fisherman's boat, with its distinctive shape and colourful decorations, is moored nearby, adding to the quaint and idyllic scene. The summer sun casts a warm glow over the harbour, reflecting off the calm, blue waters. Seagulls fly overhead, while other boats bob gently in the background. This photograph not only documents the daily life of a fisherman but also encapsulates the spirit of a bygone era, when the rhythm of the tides and the bounty of the sea shaped the lives of those who called St. Ives home. This image is a testament to the rich history and culture of the Cornish coast, offering a glimpse into the past and the enduring connection between the people of St. Ives and the sea.
