EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting coastal town of St Ives in Cornwall, during the Victorian era. The year is 1890, and four individuals grace the steps flanking Court Cocking, a prominent landmark of the time. Photographer Edward Ashton skillfully captures this moment frozen in time. Intriguingly dressed in traditional Cornish attire, a woman stands at the forefront with an air of elegance and poise. Beside her stands a young girl, perhaps her daughter or sister, mirroring her refined demeanor. Two boys playfully flank them on either side, their mischievous grins hinting at youthful exuberance. The scene unfolds against a backdrop of rustic cobbles and ornate railings that add charm to this quaint corner of St Ives. A wheelbarrow rests nearby as if awaiting its next task amidst daily life's hustle and bustle. Hats are donned by all present; each one unique in style yet serving as symbols of fashion and social status during this period. This evocative print from Royal Cornwall Museum transports us back to an era where simplicity intertwined with sophistication. It invites us to imagine what conversations were exchanged on those very steps long ago—stories shared, dreams whispered—and reminds us that history lives within every stone we tread upon today.
