EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken in 1825 by George Cooke, transports us back to the coastal town of Brighthelmston in Sussex. The image showcases a dramatic scene of boats battling against rough seas off the coast of Brighton. On the left side, we can see the newly constructed Royal Suspension Chain Pier, which served as a landing stage for packet boats traveling to Dieppe, France. Sadly, this iconic pier met its demise during a devastating storm in 1896. In the distance, amidst the crashing waves and stormy weather, stands the majestic Royal Pavilion. This grand royal residence adds an air of elegance and charm to this picturesque cityscape. The vibrant colors captured by Cooke's engraving highlight both the beauty and power of nature. The print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also provides valuable historical insight into transportation and water travel during the 19th century. It is fascinating to imagine how these brave sailors navigated through such treacherous waters. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from J. & A Arch's collection published in London in 1825, it serves as a reminder of our connection with history and how places evolve over time due to natural forces like storms or human intervention.
