EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Entrance of the Harbour, Fishguard, Pembrokeshire" takes us back to the 19th century in Wales. The print showcases a historic moment frozen in time, capturing the essence of this bustling port town. The artist behind this remarkable piece is Henry Gastineau, renowned for his detailed engravings that beautifully depict landscapes and cityscapes. This particular work was part of a series called "Wales Illustrated" which aimed to showcase the beauty and diversity of Wales through steel engravings. The image transports us to Fishguard's harbor entrance, where we witness ships navigating their way into the port. The harbour wall stands tall and sturdy against crashing waves while providing safe moorings for these vessels. It serves as a gateway between land and sea—a vital connection point for trade and travel during that era. Gastineau's skillful illustration captures not only the physical features but also evokes a sense of history within its lines. As we gaze upon this scene from centuries ago, we can almost feel the sights and sounds that would have accompanied such an active harbor—the cries of seagulls overhead, sailors shouting commands, and perhaps even catch a whiff of saltwater carried by the breeze. This engraving is not just an artistic representation; it is a glimpse into our past—an invitation to explore history through visual storytelling. It reminds us how ports like Fishguard played significant roles in shaping communities along coastal regions—connecting people across borders and fostering economic growth throughout Great Britain.
