EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing view of East Looe Quay in Looe, Cornwall, most likely taken before 1877. The vantage point from above West Looe offers a unique perspective of the bustling quay below. Amidst the picturesque scene, one cannot miss the presence of a locomotive on the quay itself – believed to be none other than the Kilmar before its enclosed cab was added during 1902-03. The photograph transports us back to an era when steam-powered trains were at their prime and played a vital role in connecting communities across Cornwall. It serves as a testament to the remarkable engineering feats achieved during Victorian times and showcases how railways transformed transportation networks. Notably absent from this image is the Guildhall, which suggests that it had not yet been constructed by the time this photo was taken. This detail further supports our estimation that this snapshot predates 1877. Surgeon Captain John Campbell's keen eye for detail and composition shines through in this exceptional piece of historical documentation. Through his lens, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand what life was like in coastal Cornwall during its railway heyday
