EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the charming fishing village of Looe, Cornwall, around 1900. The view from the Quay in East Looe showcases the picturesque Looe Bridge standing proudly over the tranquil waters below. As we gaze at this snapshot from history, a number of small boats gently sway in the foreground, their colorful sails adding a vibrant touch to the scene. The photographer behind this remarkable image remains unknown, but their ability to capture such beauty is undeniable. This glass lantern slide is part of a series and bears the number 56, serving as a testament to its historical significance. Looe has long been renowned for its rich maritime heritage and close-knit community. This photograph offers us glimpses into an era when communications and transport relied heavily on waterways like those found along Cornwall's south coast. It serves as a reminder of how integral fishing villages were to sustaining local economies and connecting communities during that time. As we admire this stunning visual piece from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also acknowledge its role in preserving our cultural history.
