EDITORS COMMENTS
Our Coastguard (litho) captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing the dedication and bravery of those who patrolled our shores. This print, created by Charles J. Staniland in 1892, offers a glimpse into the daily life of coastguards during this time. The image depicts a room filled with coastguards engaged in various activities that highlight their commitment to protecting lives at sea. From cutlass drills to passing cards and restoring lamps, every task is meticulously carried out under the watchful eye of their commanding officer. Noteworthy details within the scene include semaphore signals being exchanged between stations using flags and pendants, ensuring effective communication along the coastline. The presence of a pigeon suggests an additional means of relaying important information swiftly. The regulations governing these brave men are evident through signs posted on walls, reminding them to adhere strictly to instructions while exceptions are few and trifling. Scabbards holding flashing sticks hang neatly underneath each coat rack, emphasizing readiness for action at any moment. In one corner, we see a coastguard dressed in full uniform diligently studying instruction manuals on signallimg techniques. Meanwhile, another group prepares for their day patrol near a lifeboat station. This beautifully detailed lithograph transports us back in time when our coast was guarded with unwavering vigilance. It serves as both an homage to these unsung heroes and a reminder of their vital role in safeguarding our shores.
