EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to Looe harbour in 1914. The image captures a picturesque view towards the entrance of the bustling harbor, as seen from West Looe foreshore during low tide. Renowned photographer Herbert Hughes skillfully framed this scene, showcasing his talent for capturing the essence of Cornwall's coastal beauty. The charm of this historic photograph lies not only in its composition but also in its depiction of traditional Cornish activities. In the foreground, we see a fleet of sailing and rowing boats gently resting on the sandy shore. These vessels were essential for both leisurely pursuits and livelihoods at that time, serving as a reminder of Cornwall's strong maritime heritage. The tranquil waters reflect an idyllic atmosphere, with hints of sunlight breaking through scattered clouds above. This ethereal lighting adds depth and warmth to the scene, enhancing our appreciation for nature's splendor. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, it is impossible not to be transported back to an era where life moved at a slower pace – where fishermen cast their nets into these very waters and families enjoyed peaceful moments by the sea. It serves as a poignant reminder of how much has changed over a century while celebrating Cornwall's timeless allure
