EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Raddy Collection transports us back in time to the summer of 1940, capturing the vibrant atmosphere and bustling energy of East Looe Beach & Banjo Pier. The image depicts a scene filled with an array of people, forming a sea of colorful umbrellas and sun-kissed bodies enjoying their day by the seaside. One cannot help but wonder what drew such large crowds to Banjo Pier during this particular era. Perhaps it was the allure of its unique structure jutting out into the sparkling waters, providing a picturesque backdrop for leisurely strolls or fishing enthusiasts casting their lines. Or maybe it was renowned for offering breathtaking views across Looe Bay, enticing visitors to soak up every moment under the glorious sunshine. During these uncertain times in history, when World War II loomed over Europe, one might speculate that people sought solace and respite at places like Banjo Pier. It could have been a temporary escape from daily worries or an opportunity to create cherished memories amidst challenging circumstances. Regardless of why these crowds flocked to Banjo Pier in 1940, this print serves as a poignant reminder that even during tumultuous periods, humanity seeks joy and connection with nature's beauty. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded that some things remain constant throughout history: our desire for serenity by the sea and our ability to find solace within its embrace.
