EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling Cardiff docks in the 1950s. The focus of the image is Mr Arthur Hainis, a skilled watermark painter, diligently at work on the Norwegian tanker Erling Borthen. As he perches on a ladder, surrounded by ropes and moorings, Hainis meticulously paints marks onto the ship's hull while it undergoes repairs in one of Cardiff's dry docks. The scene exudes an atmosphere of industriousness and craftsmanship that was characteristic of this era. It serves as a poignant reminder of the vital role played by workers like Hainis in maintaining and preserving maritime vessels during a time when shipping was crucial for trade and transport. Bela Zola's expert composition captures not only the technical aspects of this moment but also conveys a sense of pride and dedication exhibited by individuals working within Wales' thriving shipping industry. The stark contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the photograph, emphasizing both Hainis' solitary presence against the vastness of his surroundings. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era where manual labor reigned supreme amidst towering ships and busy dockyards. This print stands as a testament to both Mr Arthur Hainis' skillful artistry as well as Cardiff's rich maritime heritage.
