EDITORS COMMENTS
Transporting us back in time to the idyllic summer of 1936, this print captures the timeless beauty of East Looe Beach in Cornwall. Taken from a cliff vantage point, we are treated to a breathtaking panoramic view that showcases the stunning Cornish coastline at its finest. In the foreground, we can see the iconic Banjo Pier gracefully extending into the crystal-clear waters of Looe River. This charming pier has long been a beloved landmark for locals and visitors alike, providing an enchanting backdrop for leisurely strolls along the beach. As our gaze wanders towards the horizon, we are greeted by an uninterrupted stretch of golden sand and rolling waves that invite us to dip our toes into their refreshing embrace. The distant silhouette of St Georges Island adds an air of mystery and intrigue to this already picturesque scene; now transformed into a nature reserve, it serves as a reminder of Cornwall's rich biodiversity. This remarkable image not only transports us to a bygone era but also encapsulates the allure and tranquility that have made East Looe Beach such a cherished destination throughout history. It is through these glimpses into our past that we gain appreciation for both natural wonders and human ingenuity – forever preserved within this snapshot from August 1936.
