EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 1900s, capturing a picturesque view of St Ives harbour from the West Pier in Cornwall. The image showcases a bustling scene filled with cornish sailing and rowing boats, each gracefully gliding through the calm waters. In the foreground, we are drawn to a magnificent lifeboat named James Stevens No. 10, proudly standing as a symbol of safety and rescue. The composition is beautifully framed by the iconic lighthouse that stands tall on the pier, its beacon guiding ships safely into port. The photographer behind this remarkable shot is believed to be Edward Ashton, whose keen eye for detail has immortalized this moment in history. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, it's impossible not to feel transported back to an era when fishing was at its prime and maritime activities thrived along these shores. The atmosphere exudes tranquility and nostalgia; one can almost hear the gentle lapping of waves against wooden hulls and smell the salty sea air. This print serves as a testament to Cornwall's rich seafaring heritage and reminds us of how vital these waters were for trade and livelihoods during that period. It encapsulates both beauty and significance within its frame—a true treasure preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum for generations to come.
