EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic Dunston Pillar in Lincolnshire, England. Originally erected in 1751 as an inland lighthouse to guide ships navigating the treacherous waters of the River Witham, this impressive pillar later became adorned with a statue of King George III.
However, during World War II, the top portion of the pillar had to be removed due to concerns that it posed a hazard to aircraft flying overhead. This act speaks volumes about the adaptability and resilience of historical landmarks in times of conflict.
The image beautifully showcases the intricate details of this iconic structure, highlighting its significance in English history. The juxtaposition of past and present - from its origins as a beacon for sailors to its role as a symbol of royal authority - adds layers of complexity to its story.
As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded not only of the architectural marvels that have stood the test of time but also of how they have been shaped by moments of crisis and change. The Dunston Pillar stands tall as a testament to England's rich heritage and enduring spirit.
