EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the late 1800s, offering a mesmerizing view from the Island to Knills Steeple in St Ives, Cornwall. The photographer, Herbert Hughes, skillfully captures the essence of this picturesque coastal town with its unique blend of Cornish charm and natural beauty. In this snapshot, our gaze is drawn towards Knills Steeple majestically standing on the skyline. Its ancient presence serves as a reminder of St Ives' rich history and cultural heritage. As we explore further into the image, we notice quaint buildings nestled along the hillside. These traditional structures exude character and tell stories of generations past. The foreground reveals an intriguing sight: an old pigsty and lime kilns at Porthgwidden. These remnants from another era evoke curiosity about their purpose and significance within the community's daily life. It is believed that this photograph was taken shortly after the construction of the railway in 1877. This newfound mode of transportation brought both opportunities for growth and changes to St Ives' landscape. Cornish railings gracefully frame this enchanting scene, adding a touch of elegance to an already breathtaking vista. Together with nature's vibrant hues and serene waters surrounding St Ives Island, they create a harmonious composition that transports viewers back in time. This remarkable print offers a glimpse into Cornwall's past - capturing not only its physical features but also its intangible spirit that has captivated artists and visitors alike throughout centuries
