EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the timeless beauty of St Anthony lighthouse in Cornwall, this vintage print transports us back to the early 1900s. Taken by renowned photographer Arthur William Jordan, it offers a close-up view of this iconic landmark nestled on the rugged coastline overlooking Carrick Roads. The image exudes a sense of serenity as the lighthouse stands tall against a backdrop of dramatic skies and crashing waves. The composition showcases Jordan's impeccable skill in capturing every intricate detail, from the weathered stones that form the lighthouse's foundation to its distinctive red and white stripes that guide ships safely through treacherous waters. The play between light and shadow adds depth to the photograph, enhancing its overall allure. This historic snapshot not only serves as a visual delight but also holds cultural significance for Cornwall. St Anthony lighthouse has long been an integral part of maritime history in this region, guiding sailors home and protecting them from perilous cliffs and hidden rocks. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we are transported back in time to an era when life moved at a slower pace; where fishermen set sail under moonlit nights guided by beacons like St Anthony's steadfast glow. It is a testament to both human ingenuity and nature's power—a reminder of our enduring connection with the sea. Displayed proudly within Royal Cornwall Museum, this photograph invites visitors to immerse themselves in Cornwall's rich heritage while paying homage to those who have safeguarded these shores throughout generations.
