EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by John Short takes us back in time to the early 20th century, specifically around 1910. The image showcases a mesmerizing scene of war ships positioned just off the pier head and lighthouse. Captured on glass negative, this historical artifact offers a glimpse into an era when naval power and maritime defense were paramount. The composition is strikingly beautiful, with the majestic warships dominating the foreground against a backdrop of calm sea waters. Their imposing presence evokes a sense of strength and readiness, reminding us of the turbulent times during which they sailed. The pierhead and lighthouse stand as silent witnesses to these vessels' mighty presence, providing guidance and protection for their safe navigation. John Short's skillful use of photography transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate both the technical prowess required to capture such an image during that period and its artistic value today. The glass negative medium adds an ethereal quality to the photograph, enhancing its vintage charm. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Design Pics' collection, we are reminded of how history shapes our present reality. It serves as a reminder that progress often comes at great cost but also highlights humanity's unwavering determination to protect what it holds dear – be it national security or cherished coastal landmarks like piers and lighthouses.
