EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the early 1900s, we are transported to the rugged cliffs of Padstow, Cornwall. Standing proudly on a rocky outcrop, a bearded coastguard takes center stage as he poses with his trusty telescope in hand. His uniform exudes an air of authority and professionalism, consisting of dark trousers, a top coat, and a hat that shields his face from the elements. The attention to detail is remarkable as we observe the intricacies of his double-breasted coat adorned with six pairs of buttons. This image captures not only the essence of coastal life but also serves as a testament to the dedication and vigilance required by those who safeguard our shores. Photographer Thomas Henry Williams skillfully freezes this moment in time, allowing us to glimpse into an era when technology was simpler yet no less effective. The dramatic backdrop showcases Cornwall's breathtaking coastline in all its glory - towering cliffs meeting crashing waves below. This print offers more than just visual appeal; it invites us to reflect upon the bravery and commitment demonstrated by coastguards throughout history. It reminds us that even amidst changing times, their unwavering duty remains unchanged - protecting lives at sea
