"Staithes - 'in Puris Naturalibus'" is a notable photograph taken by the renowned British photographer Frank Meadow Sutcliffe (1853–1941). Sutcliffe, celebrated for his work documenting the life and landscapes of Whitby and the surrounding areas, captured this image during the late 19th century, a period when photography was emerging as a powerful medium for artistic expression and documentary work. The photograph is part of Sutcliffe's extensive portfolio that focuses on the everyday lives of fishermen and their families, as well as the rugged beauty of the Yorkshire coast.

The title "in Puris Naturalibus" is a Latin phrase meaning "in a pure state" or "in natural condition," which reflects Sutcliffe's approach to capturing his subjects with honesty and a deep sense of respect for their way of life. This particular image, set in the small fishing village of Staithes, is emblematic of Sutcliffe's ability to convey the raw and often harsh realities of the late Victorian era's coastal communities, while also highlighting their dignity and the timeless beauty of the natural landscape.

Sutcliffe's work, including "Staithes - 'in Puris Naturalibus'," is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, offering insights into the social and economic conditions of the time. His photographs are celebrated for their composition, use of natural light, and the pioneering techniques he employed to overcome the limitations of the photographic technology of his day.

Today, Frank Meadow Sutcliffe's photographs are held in high regard, with "Staithes - 'in Puris Naturalibus'" being a prime example of his legacy as a pioneer of early photographic art and documentary photography.
