EDITORS COMMENTS
Transporting us back in time to the idyllic summer of 1904, this print captures the essence of carefree childhood on East Looe beach, nestled in the picturesque town of Looe, Cornwall. The image showcases a group of children joyfully paddling in the crystal-clear waters, their laughter echoing against the backdrop of charming Looe. Photographer T. Mitchell skillfully frames this nostalgic scene, highlighting not only the innocence and exuberance of youth but also providing a glimpse into life at that time. Cornish culture is beautifully represented through traditional rowing boats dotting the coastline, symbolizing both livelihood and leisure for local fishermen. The children's attire adds an endearing touch to this snapshot from history - hats protectively shielding them from the sun's rays while pinafores flutter gently in sync with their playful movements. It is as if time has stood still within this frozen moment; one can almost hear their gleeful shrieks and feel the sand between their toes. This remarkable print serves as a window into a bygone era when simplicity reigned supreme and nature was cherished above all else. Preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum, it offers viewers an opportunity to connect with our heritage and appreciate how much has changed over generations
