EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the picturesque town of St Ives, Cornwall, around 1900. The view along Smeatons Pier offers a glimpse into the bustling maritime life that once thrived here. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in history, our eyes are immediately drawn to the masts of fishing boats lining the left edge of the pier. These vessels stand tall and proud, ready to set sail on their next adventure. The scene is further enriched by the presence of fishing nets piled on the ground and lobster pots stacked neatly on the right side. These essential tools of trade remind us of the hardworking fishermen who relied on them for their livelihoods. Their dedication and resilience echo through time as we contemplate this image. Possibly captured by Arthur William Jordan, an unknown photographer with a keen eye for detail, this photograph encapsulates both beauty and authenticity. The composition perfectly frames not only Smeatons Pier but also showcases a charming light house standing proudly amidst its surroundings. As we immerse ourselves in this historic moment frozen forever in print form, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also recognize it as a testament to Cornwall's rich seafaring heritage – one that continues to shape its identity today.
