EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting vintage photograph of the picturesque fishing village of Looe, Cornwall, as captured by The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. The image transports us to an earlier era, with its intriguing blend of Victorian and Edwardian charm. The quaint, narrow streets of Looe are bathed in the soft glow of lantern light, casting long, dramatic shadows on the cobblestones. The village's ancient houses, some adorned with ivy and others boasting brightly colored facades, stand proudly against the night sky. The gentle curve of the river Looe, which divides the historic town into East and West Looe, is illuminated by the lanterns, creating a serene and mystical atmosphere. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, when life moved at a slower pace and the simple pleasures of community and tradition held great importance. The lanterns, a common sight in the village even then, not only provided light but also served as a symbol of unity and warmth. This beautiful, early photograph is a testament to the rich history and timeless beauty of Looe, a place where the past and present come together in perfect harmony. It invites us to imagine the stories of the people who once called this village home, and to appreciate the enduring allure of a simpler time.
