EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the picturesque coastal town of St Ives, Cornwall, in the year 1903. The scene captures a fleet of fishing boats gracefully navigating the open sea, their sails billowing against the wind. Each boat proudly displays its distinctive Cornish heritage through its traditional design, with sturdy masts reaching towards the sky. As we peer closer into this snapshot from history, we notice rowing oars rhythmically slicing through the water's surface as fishermen skillfully maneuver their vessels. These hardworking individuals dedicate their lives to harnessing nature's bounty from these treacherous waters. Their resilience and determination are palpable even within this frozen moment. The image exudes an air of industry and purpose; it is a testament to Cornwall's deep-rooted connection to its coastal resources. The coast itself acts as both protector and provider for these brave souls who rely on it for sustenance and livelihoods. Herbert Hughes' keen eye has captured not only a stunning visual spectacle but also a glimpse into an era when fishing was at the heart of St Ives' identity. This photograph serves as a reminder of how communities have thrived alongside nature throughout centuries, forging unbreakable bonds with land and sea alike. Displayed within Royal Cornwall Museum's hallowed halls, this print stands as an homage to those who have dedicated themselves to preserving Cornwall's rich maritime heritage - reminding us all that our past shapes our present while guiding our future endeavors along
