EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the charming town of St Ives in Cornwall, during the idyllic summer of 1928. The Great Western Railway (GWR) presents a picturesque view of this coastal gem, showcasing Porthminster Beach in all its glory. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are immediately drawn to the vast expanse of golden sand stretching out before us. Nestled by the rocks on one corner is a quaint hotel, adding an air of elegance and sophistication to this seaside paradise. Its presence serves as a reminder that even in such a serene setting, modern comforts can be found. The juxtaposition between nature's raw beauty and human intervention creates an intriguing dynamic within this snapshot from history. The crystal-clear waters gently caress the shore while seagulls soar gracefully overhead, painting a picture-perfect scene that seems almost too good to be true. It is easy to imagine families frolicking in the waves or sunbathers seeking respite from the warm August sun. Transported back nearly a century ago, we can almost feel ourselves stepping into this timeless moment captured by GWR's publicity team. This photograph encapsulates not only St Ives' natural splendor but also showcases how it has long been cherished as a holiday destination for those seeking solace amidst breathtaking scenery and tranquil surroundings.
