EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the picturesque town of Looe, Cornwall, in the year 1904. The image captures a serene general view of the river and quays from East Looe towards West Looe Quay Road. As our eyes wander through this historical scene, we are drawn to a man sitting on a weathered bollard, seemingly lost in contemplation as he admires the breathtaking vista before him. In the foreground of this snapshot frozen in time, we notice an elegant rowing boat named Florrie gently tethered to the quay. Its polished wooden hull reflects the sunlight that dances upon its surface, hinting at countless adventures and stories it has witnessed over time. This boat serves as a reminder of Cornwall's deep connection with maritime activities and its rich seafaring heritage. The photographer behind this remarkable piece is Herbert Hughes, whose keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate every nuance within this composition. Through his lens, he effortlessly transports us into an era where life moved at a slower pace and nature's beauty was cherished. This print evokes feelings of nostalgia and curiosity about life along these Cornish shores more than a century ago. It invites us to reflect on how much has changed since then while reminding us that some things remain timeless - like the allure of rowing boats sailing gracefully across tranquil waters under clear blue skies.
