EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the late 19th century, offering a mesmerizing view of Lizard Lighthouse in Landewednack, Cornwall. The image showcases the lighthouse from below the cliff, highlighting its grandeur against the rugged coastal backdrop. Constructed by Thomas Fonnereau in 1751 as a twin coal-fired light, this historical landmark underwent several transformations over the years. In 1811, it was converted to oil before being electrified in 1874. A significant upgrade came in 1903 when a rotating lens was installed in the eastern tower while removing the western tower light altogether. This technological advancement ensured improved navigation and safety for seafarers along this treacherous stretch of coastline. The hand-coloured slide created by William Charles Hughes adds an artistic touch to this remarkable photograph whose original photographer remains unknown. It beautifully captures not only the architectural magnificence of Lizard Lighthouse but also preserves a glimpse into Victorian-era Cornwall. Situated on the picturesque Trinity House Peninsula, this iconic structure stands as a testament to human ingenuity and dedication towards maritime safety. Having been automated since 1998, it continues to guide ships with unwavering vigilance even today. As we admire this historic image, we are transported back through time and reminded of both our rich maritime heritage and our constant pursuit of progress and innovation within navigation marks along our beloved Cornish coastlines.
