EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the charming coastal town of Looe, Cornwall, circa 1930. The image presents a picturesque view of Looe Quay, showcasing the idyllic beauty that has enchanted visitors for centuries. Looking upstream, we are greeted by the magnificent church tower of The Parish of Saint Nicholas nestled in the bottom right corner. The scene comes alive with boats gracefully lining the quay and harbour along both sides of the river banks. These vessels serve as a testament to Looe's rich maritime history and its reliance on fishing and trade. Connecting these two vibrant halves of Looe is none other than the historic stone marvel known as Looe Bridge, which was constructed in 1853 but traces its roots all the way back to 1411. Transporting ourselves into this snapshot from yesteryears allows us to appreciate not only the natural splendor surrounding this Cornish town but also glimpse into daily life during an era long gone. As we immerse ourselves in this nostalgic ambiance, it becomes evident why artists have been drawn to capture Looe's timeless allure throughout history
