1860s Construction Scaffold Scaffolding Currey

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Scaffolding-Liviesmore Castle" and printed around 1862 by F.C. Currey, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. The image, captured in black and white through the wet collodion process, transports us back to the 19th century and the bustling activity of a castle undergoing repairs. The scene is set outside, with the imposing Liviesmore Castle looming in the background. The castle, a symbol of heritage and history, stands proudly amidst the English countryside, its towers and battlements reaching for the sky. But it is not just a picture of grandeur and nobility; the presence of scaffolding and figures at work brings a sense of reality and activity to the image. The scaffolding, with its poles and planks, zigzags up the castle walls, providing a necessary support system for the workers as they carry out repairs and renovations. The figures in the foreground, dressed in Victorian attire, add a human element to the photograph, giving us a sense of the laborious work involved in maintaining such a historic structure. This photograph, now held in the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a testament to the skill and artistry of F.C. Currey. The intricacies of the scaffolding are captured in exquisite detail, and the contrast between the white planks and the dark castle walls adds depth and texture to the image. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our heritage and the role that construction and repair work plays in maintaining our historic buildings for future generations to enjoy. Overall, "Scaffolding-Liviesmore Castle" is a captivating and intriguing photograph that invites us to explore the past and appreciate the craftsmanship and artistry of the 19th century.
