Image description

Charles Simpson recorded that this picture shows the view from his studio window in St Ives, Cornwall. Workers are shown packing herring into barrels for transport. The summer herring season lasted from around July until August or early September. Cornish boats fished off Ireland and often as far north as the Shetlands.
