EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the charming streets of West Looe, Cornwall around 1890. The image showcases Fore Street, a bustling thoroughfare that encapsulates the essence of Victorian-era life in this coastal town. Photographer Surgeon Captain John Campbell skillfully captures the scene, allowing us to immerse ourselves in its historical charm. As we gaze upon this snapshot from yesteryears, our eyes are drawn towards a group of Cornish women elegantly strolling along the cobbled street. Dressed in their traditional attire, they exude grace and poise as they navigate through their daily routines. Their presence adds a touch of authenticity to this picturesque setting. The architecture lining Fore Street is equally captivating; quaint buildings with ornate facades stand tall on either side. These structures provide glimpses into local businesses and homes that were once at the heart of community life during that era. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also offers an invaluable glimpse into history. It transports us back to an era when horse-drawn carriages traversed these streets and gas lamps illuminated the night sky. Preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum, this remarkable piece allows us to appreciate the beauty and heritage of West Looe while honoring Surgeon Captain John Campbell's keen eye for capturing moments frozen in time.
