EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to the 1870s, capturing a remarkable moment in history. Standing tall against the rugged Cornish landscape, we witness the construction of Longships lighthouse, an iconic beacon guiding sailors through treacherous waters. Photographer Edwin Trembath skillfully captures this juxtaposition of old and new as he frames the scene. The partially built lighthouse stands proudly amidst a backdrop of ancient rocks and crashing waves. It is a testament to human ingenuity harmoniously blending with nature's raw power. The image transports us to a time when craftsmanship was paramount, showcasing intricate details that would soon guide countless ships safely home. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, one can't help but marvel at the dedication and bravery required by those who constructed such vital structures under challenging circumstances. Cornwall's rich maritime heritage comes alive within this photograph; it encapsulates both its beauty and danger. The rocky coastline serves as a reminder of perilous journeys undertaken by seafarers while highlighting their reliance on these beacons for safe passage. In preserving this historical artifact, the Royal Cornwall Museum allows us to appreciate not only Edwin Trembath's artistic eye but also pays homage to those who labored tirelessly to protect lives at sea. This print invites us into their world - where man meets nature head-on - leaving an indelible impression on our hearts and minds.
