EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1911 showcases the picturesque beauty of The Harbour in St Ives, Cornwall. In the foreground, two young boys engage in animated conversation against the backdrop of a bustling harbor scene. Their presence adds a touch of innocence and curiosity to this historic moment frozen in time. Dominating the center of the image is the iconic Sloop Inn, its pale colored roof standing out amidst a sea of vibrant buildings. This charming establishment has been an integral part of St Ives' maritime history for centuries, serving as a gathering place for locals and visitors alike. The Victorian-era stairs with their intricate railings and chains provide both functionality and aesthetic appeal to this coastal landscape. Beyond them lies an array of boats with majestic masts reaching towards the sky, symbolizing adventure and exploration on open waters. The surrounding buildings exude character with their unique architectural styles, blending harmoniously into the natural beauty that surrounds them. A pristine beach stretches along one side while rowing boats gently sway on calm waters nearby. Intriguingly scattered throughout are individuals donning traditional caps and carrying baskets - perhaps fishermen preparing for their daily catch or locals going about their daily routines. Preserved by photographer Herbert Hughes, this remarkable snapshot captures not only a specific moment but also encapsulates the timeless charm that makes St Ives such an enchanting destination today.
