EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between approximately 1890 and 1900, showcases the picturesque Neufahrwasser Lighthouse located in what is now Gdansk, Poland. At the time, this region was part of the German province of West Prussia. The image, rich in historical significance, transports us back to a bygone era with its nostalgic charm. The lighthouse, standing proudly against the backdrop of the Baltic Sea, was a vital navigational aid for seafarers in the 19th century. Its distinct, conical shape and red and white stripes are reminiscent of a time when maritime travel was the primary means of long-distance transportation. The calm, serene waters of the bay add to the tranquil atmosphere, while the contrasting colors of the lighthouse and the sky create a visually stunning composition. This photograph, with its warm, coloured tones, is an excellent example of the Photochrom process, a popular method for producing colourized photographs during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The process involved hand-painting images onto photographic prints, resulting in vibrant, detailed, and lifelike images. As we gaze at this nostalgic view of Neufahrwasser Lighthouse, we are reminded of the rich history of maritime travel and the role that lighthouses played in guiding ships safely to their destinations. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the past and the stories it holds.
