EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the quaint and picturesque East Looe Quay, Cornwall, circa 1890. This print captures a slice of Victorian life along the idyllic riverfront. Standing at the end of East Looe Quay near the pier's entrance, our gaze is drawn towards West Looe as we take in this charming scene. The composition reveals a vibrant riverside atmosphere bustling with activity. Small boats gracefully dot the water, their sails billowing against the gentle breeze. The rhythmic rowing strokes create ripples that mirror the serenity of this Cornish haven. As we explore further, our eyes are met with an array of people on the quay; locals going about their daily routines or perhaps eagerly awaiting loved ones returning from sea. Surgeon Captain John Campbell skillfully immortalizes this moment in history through his lens, capturing not just a physical landscape but also preserving snippets of human connection and maritime heritage. With each detail meticulously preserved by his expert eye, we can almost hear laughter echoing across time and feel ourselves transported into this bygone era. This remarkable photograph evokes nostalgia for simpler times while reminding us of Cornwall's enduring beauty and its deep-rooted ties to sailing traditions. It serves as a testament to both Surgeon Captain John Campbell's artistic prowess and Royal Cornwall Museum's commitment to preserving our rich cultural heritage.
