Crabbing Ives

EDITORS COMMENTS
Crabbing on St Ives Beach: A Vintage Moment Captured in Time by The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection Step back in time with this enchanting image of crabbing on St Ives beach, as captured in a vintage lantern slide from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, now available on Mary Evans Prints Online. This evocative snapshot of a bygone era invites us to imagine a day at the seaside during the Victorian or Edwardian period. The scene unfolds on the picturesque shores of St Ives, a charming Cornish fishing village renowned for its stunning beaches and artistic heritage. The gentle lapping of the waves against the pebbled shore creates a soothing backdrop, while the sun casts a warm, golden glow over the scene. At the water's edge, a young boy in a crisp, white shirt and short trousers focuses intently on his crabbing line, his expression a mixture of excitement and concentration. His older companion, dressed in a long, dark coat and bowler hat, offers words of encouragement and guidance, their faces illuminated by the soft light of a lantern. The simple pleasure of crabbing, a cherished seaside pastime, is a testament to the enduring appeal of the British coastline and the joy of spending a day by the sea. This image, with its timeless charm and nostalgic appeal, transports us to a simpler time and invites us to cherish the beauty and wonder of the natural world.
