EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the early 20th century, offering a mesmerizing view of the iconic Lizard lighthouse as seen from the sea. The photograph captures a moment of tranquility and serenity, with the rugged Cornish coastline stretching out into the distance. It is evident that this image was taken from the stern of a boat, most likely a Falmouth pleasure steamer, as it provides an intimate perspective on this magnificent landmark. The Lizard lighthouse stands proudly atop its rocky perch, serving as an essential navigation mark for sailors navigating these treacherous waters. Its striking white facade contrasts beautifully against the deep blue hues of both sky and sea. This historic structure has been safeguarding ships along Cornwall's coast since before 1903 when this photograph was taken by Arthur Philp. Situated in Landewednack on Cornwall's stunning peninsula, known as "the Lizard" this picturesque scene showcases not only natural beauty but also man-made ingenuity. The Trinity House logo can be spotted on one side of the lighthouse—a symbol synonymous with maritime safety and guidance. As we admire this timeless image captured by Arthur Philp at Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported to a different era where coastal exploration and seafaring adventures were part of everyday life. Let your imagination wander through time and space while appreciating the raw beauty that defines Cornwall's unique landscape—the perfect blend of nature's majesty and human endeavor harmoniously coexisting along these shores.
