EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to around 1900, offering a mesmerizing view up river in the charming town of Looe, Cornwall. The image showcases the picturesque harbor and East Looe, with its quaint boats gently bobbing on the estuary's calm waters. As our eyes wander further into the frame, we are greeted by the magnificent sight of St Nicholas church's tower rising proudly in West Looe. The photographer behind this remarkable piece remains unknown, but their skillful composition has immortalized a moment that encapsulates both tranquility and history. This glass lantern slide is part of a series and bears the number 58, hinting at an extensive collection capturing various aspects of life in Cornwall during that era. With every glance at this photograph, one can almost feel transported to those simpler times when fishing vessels sailed these very waters and bustling activity filled these shores. It serves as a testament to Cornwall's rich maritime heritage and its enduring connection to its coastal landscapes. As we admire this evocative scene from afar, it is important to note that this print should not be used for commercial purposes. Instead, let us appreciate it for what it truly represents: an exquisite glimpse into a bygone era where Cornish charm met breathtaking natural beauty along the banks of Looe's enchanting river.
