This print takes us back in time to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the grandeur and military might of Pendennis Castle in Cornwall. The reconstruction drawing of the Half Moon Battery showcases an impressive display of Victorian architecture and engineering prowess. Ivan Lapper's meticulous illustration brings this historical landmark to life, allowing us to appreciate its intricate details. The focal point of this image is the Shifting Lobby, also known as the changing room. This small building served as a crucial space for soldiers stationed at Pendennis Castle, providing them with privacy and convenience while donning their uniforms or preparing for duty. Its presence within the castle grounds highlights not only its functional significance but also reflects the attention given to even minor aspects of military infrastructure during that era. Lapper's graphic style adds depth and texture to every stroke, emphasizing both the strength and elegance embodied by Pendennis Castle.
