EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the mesmerizing East Looe beach in Cornwall, most likely taken during the 1880s. The image showcases a breathtaking view towards Looe Island, with its rugged coastline adorned by quaint fishing villages that dot the South Coast of this picturesque county. The absence of Banjo Pier, which was constructed later in 1896, adds an intriguing historical element to this photograph. As we gaze upon the scene captured by Surgeon Captain John Campbell, we are reminded of a simpler era when nature reigned supreme along these shores. The rocky outcrops jutting out into the sea create a dramatic contrast against the calmness of the coastal waters. The waves gently caress the sandy beach at low tide, leaving behind intricate patterns on its surface. It is as if time has stood still within this frame; one can almost hear seagulls calling and feel a gentle breeze rustling through nearby grasses. This image serves as a testament to Cornwall's timeless beauty and charm. Its rich maritime heritage is evident in every detail - from fishing boats bobbing on the horizon to weathered cottages nestled amongst cliffs overlooking this idyllic scene. As we admire this remarkable piece of history preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum, let us be transported back to an era where life revolved around these enchanting coastal communities - forever etched into our collective memory.
