EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and historical significance of the Custom House in Purfleet, Kings Lynn, Norfolk. The imposing anchor and bell tower stand tall against a backdrop of vibrant colors, symbolizing the rich maritime heritage of this coastal town. Intriguingly, the statue at the forefront is none other than Captain George Vancouver himself, a renowned naval captain who played a pivotal role in exploring and mapping North America's Pacific coast during his voyages in the late 18th century. Dressed in traditional sailor attire with his hat held firmly under his arm, he personifies bravery and adventure. The dormer windows on this magnificent building add an architectural charm to its facade while hinting at its past as a hub for financial transactions related to trade and commerce. As one gazes upon this photograph, it evokes images of bustling sailors clad in their distinctive uniforms coming ashore after long journeys at sea. Peter Thompson's expert photography brings out every detail with precision and artistry. Through his lens, we are transported back in time to an era when naval warfare was prevalent and seafaring life shaped communities like Kings Lynn. This print serves as a visual reminder of our connection to history; it encapsulates both beauty and significance within its frame. Whether displayed proudly on your wall or cherished as part of your collection, it invites you to explore tales from distant shores that continue to resonate today.
