EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting Victorian era in Cornwall, specifically Looe Bridge during the 1890s. The image beautifully captures a serene view towards the bridge from the riverbank near the railway station. It is evident that Surgeon Captain John Campbell possessed an exceptional eye for detail and composition. The scene showcases not only the architectural marvel of Looe Bridge but also provides a glimpse into daily life at that time. A group of children, presumably local boys, can be seen in their traditional attire, adding a touch of innocence and playfulness to this historical snapshot. Their presence reminds us of simpler times when children found joy in exploring their surroundings and creating adventures along riversides. While admiring this photograph, one cannot help but notice some ongoing work on the railway line leading towards Looe Bridge. This serves as a testament to progress and development during that period. The combination of Victorian engineering with picturesque natural beauty creates an intriguing contrast within this image. Preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum, this remarkable piece allows us to travel through time and immerse ourselves in both history and nostalgia. It stands as a testament to Cornwall's rich heritage while inviting viewers to appreciate its scenic landscapes and cherish moments frozen forever by Surgeon Captain John Campbell's lens.
