EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the late afternoon scene on Wharf Road and beach in the picturesque fishing town of St Ives, Cornwall, in 1954. The image showcases a series of studies that beautifully encapsulate the unique character and charm of this coastal town during the 1950s. The bandstand, a popular gathering place for locals and visitors alike, stands proudly at the heart of the scene. To its right, the vibrant red sign of Crimson Tours beckons travelers, while the Harbour Cafe and Copper Kettle, with their inviting facades, offer respite and refreshment to weary explorers. Brig Y Don and Dinas Ia, two iconic buildings in St Ives, can be seen in the distance, their distinctive shapes silhouetted against the setting sun. Above the slipway, the white-washed walls of John Parks house can be discerned, adding to the rich tapestry of architecture that defines this charming seaside town. The photograph was taken from the West Pier, allowing for a unique perspective that showcases the boats bobbing gently in the harbor and the sandy beach stretching out towards the horizon. The sun casts long, dramatic shadows across the scene, adding depth and texture to the image. The boats, their sails furled, rest quietly in the harbor, while the sandy beach, dotted with sunbathers, seems to stretch on for miles. The coastal scenery of St Ives, with its rugged cliffs, crystal-clear waters, and quaint buildings, has long been a source of inspiration for artists and photographers alike. This photograph, taken by the renowned aviation photographer Gilbert Adams, is a testament to the enduring beauty and allure of this Cornish town.
