This print captures the dedication and determination of head lighthouse keeper Mr. Cottee as he marches up the long spiral staircase at Norah Head lighthouse in Australia. The year is 1930s, and Mr. Cottee's responsibility is immense - ensuring that the light flashes every five seconds without fail.
The historical significance of this image is palpable, showcasing a time when lighthouses played a crucial role in guiding ships safely to shore. The intricate spiral staircase serves as a symbol of both physical labor and mental fortitude required for such an important job.
As Mr. Cottee ascends the stairs, one can almost feel the weight of history on his shoulders. Every step he takes is a testament to his commitment to keeping sailors safe and secure during their journeys at sea.
This photograph from Mary Evans Picture Library not only transports us back in time but also reminds us of the unsung heroes who worked tirelessly to ensure the safety of others.
