EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Tenby Lifeboat, 1853-56" takes us back to the maritime heritage of 19th century Britain. Created by the talented John Dillwyn Llewelyn, this image showcases a group of brave lifeboatmen in their traditional attire. The men are dressed in country clothing, donning hats that shield them from the elements as they embark on their noble mission. Their sturdy life jackets serve as a reminder of the dangers they face while navigating treacherous waters. With oars in hand, these courageous individuals row their boat with determination and skill. Set against the backdrop of Tenby's picturesque coastline in Pembrokeshire, Wales, this photograph captures both the beauty and harshness of life at sea. The wheel visible on the boat symbolizes not only transportation but also control over destiny amidst unpredictable tides. John Dillwyn Llewelyn's expertise in photography is evident through his use of salted paper printing technique which adds depth and texture to this historical snapshot. Preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this artwork serves as a testament to Welsh seafaring traditions and pays homage to those who risked their lives for others' safety. As we admire this remarkable piece from our past, let it remind us of the resilience and bravery exhibited by these men who dedicated themselves to saving lives along Britain's coastlines during an era long gone but never forgotten.
