EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print of "The Wharf, St Ives, Cornwall" taken in the early 1900s. Transported to an era of Victorian charm and simplicity, the image offers a glimpse into a bygone era. Standing at the Quay Street end, we are treated to a view of the bustling wharf as it undergoes some demolition work. From the vantage point on the pier, our eyes are drawn towards a picturesque scene that unfolds before us. The quaint houses lining the shore exude character and history with their distinct windows and doors. Each building tells its own story through weathered facades and architectural details that have stood against time's relentless march. As we soak in this coastal panorama, our attention is captured by a boat gently bobbing on crystal-clear waters nearby. Its presence adds life to an already vibrant scene—a reminder of St Ives' deep connection to maritime activities throughout history. Beyond the immediate surroundings lies a pristine beach stretching outwards—an invitation for leisurely strolls or moments spent basking under golden rays. This idyllic setting transports us to another world—one where simplicity reigns supreme amidst breathtaking natural beauty. Although shrouded in mystery due to an unknown photographer capturing this momentous slice of history, one thing remains certain—the Royal Cornwall Museum has preserved not just an image but also memories woven into every pixel of this remarkable photograph print from yesteryears.
