EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Dartmouth Castle gun tower, a true testament to coastal defense in Devon. The artist, Peter Urmston, skillfully brings this Tudor-era structure to life through his detailed cutaway reconstruction drawing. Dating back to around 1500, the castle's gun tower stands tall and proud against the backdrop of crashing waves and rugged cliffs. In this particular illustration, we witness an intriguing scene where a chain is spliced to a howser for hauling purposes. This glimpse into the past offers us insight into the ingenuity and resourcefulness of those who manned these fortifications centuries ago. It serves as a reminder that even amidst times of conflict and uncertainty, people found innovative ways to protect their shores. Urmston's graphic representation transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine what it would have been like within these walls during its heyday. We can almost hear the bustling activity of soldiers going about their duties while taking in breathtaking views of the coastline. This print not only captures an important piece of history but also celebrates our rich heritage and architectural marvels that still stand today. It invites viewers to appreciate both the craftsmanship involved in constructing such formidable structures and their enduring significance as symbols of protection along England's coastlines.
