EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the picturesque coastal town of Looe in Cornwall, during the idyllic month of June in 1904. The lens of photographer Herbert Hughes has skillfully captured a breathtaking view of Looe Island, also known as St Georges Island, from Hannafore - a vantage point that perfectly showcases the island's natural beauty. The image transports us to a time when life moved at a slower pace, where locals and visitors alike would have marveled at this stunning vista. The rugged cliffs surrounding Looe Island stand tall against the crashing waves below, creating an awe-inspiring backdrop for this historic moment frozen in time. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, it is impossible not to be drawn into the tranquility and serenity that must have enveloped those who stood on these very shores over a century ago. The simplicity and rawness of nature are beautifully juxtaposed with the delicate craftsmanship exhibited by Hughes' photography skills. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's archives, this evocative photograph serves as both a testament to Cornwall's rich heritage and an invitation for us to reflect upon our own connection with nature. It reminds us that even amidst technological advancements and societal changes, there will always be timeless landscapes like Looe Island that continue to captivate our hearts and inspire our souls.
