EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the picturesque town of Looe in Cornwall, circa 1930. The image captures a serene view up river, showcasing both East and West Looe quays with their bustling harbors. Taken from the foreshore below Hannafore Road, this vantage point offers a unique perspective on the vibrant maritime activity that defined this coastal community. The estuary's tranquil waters reflect the charm of Cornish life as fishing boats gently bob along the shore. Their colorful sails create a beautiful contrast against the rugged backdrop of stone buildings lining the waterfront. This snapshot freezes a moment in time when Looe was at its prime as a thriving fishing port. Photographer S. C. Fox skillfully frames this scene, capturing not only the physical beauty but also an essence of daily life in Looe during that era. One can almost imagine fishermen mending nets or unloading their catch onto waiting carts while seagulls soar overhead, adding to the symphony of sounds echoing through these historic streets. As we gaze upon this evocative photograph, it serves as a reminder of Cornwall's rich maritime heritage and its enduring connection to its coastal communities. It invites us to appreciate how much has changed over time while acknowledging how certain aspects have remained constant - such as Looe's timeless allure and unwavering ties to its harbor and estuary
