EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the charm and character of St Ives, Cornwall in the 1950s. The image, titled 'End of the Wharf and Start of Quay Street,' is one of a great series of studies by an unknown photographer, showcasing the unique beauty of this coastal town. The scene unfolds on the harbor beach, where two women are seen casually leaning on their bicycle, while a small boy joyfully plays with his scooter nearby. The rustic boat trolley, with its almost buried iron wheels, adds an intriguing element to the composition. At the end of the Wharf, two people engage in a deep conversation, seated on a bench, their silhouettes contrasting against the bright sky. A second bicycle is parked against the gable of the quaint cottages, adding a sense of movement and activity to the image. The sandy beach and sands of St Ives are scattered around the scene, with the clear blue waters of the harbor reflecting the tranquility and serenity of the moment.
