EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Bela Zola, we are transported back to a cozy pub in St Ives, Cornwall, during the winter of February 1954. The image captures a group of weathered fishermen huddled around a table engrossed in an intense card game. As they gather for their regular evening ritual, one can almost feel the warmth emanating from the crackling fireplace and hear the lively banter filling the air. The scene exudes a sense of camaraderie and tradition that was characteristic of pubs in the 1950s. These hardworking men, who dedicated their lives to fishing on treacherous seas, found solace and respite within these walls. With pints of beer at hand and cigarettes dangling from lips, they momentarily escaped their arduous realities through friendly competition and laughter. This photograph not only offers us a glimpse into a specific moment in time but also serves as a testament to an industry deeply ingrained in coastal communities like St Ives. Fishing was not just an occupation; it represented resilience, determination, and unity among those who relied on its bounty for survival. Bela Zola's skillful composition allows us to witness this slice of history with remarkable clarity. Through his lens, we are reminded of simpler times when card games were more than mere entertainment – they were cherished traditions that brought people together after long days at sea or work. This evocative image is truly timeless; it speaks volumes about human connection and reminds us
