EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of Flamborough Head Lighthouse, standing tall against the dramatic backdrop of East Riding of Yorkshire. Built in 1674, this historic landmark served as a guiding light for sailors navigating treacherous waters. However, due to its uneconomical nature, it underwent a transformation and became a marine telegraph station from around 1840 until the early 20th century. Emma Trevarthen's aerial perspective allows us to appreciate the lighthouse's strategic location on top of rugged cliffs overlooking the North Sea. The surrounding landscape showcases not only the lighthouse but also hints at other elements that coexist harmoniously with nature. In particular, we catch a glimpse of a nearby golf course nestled amidst rolling green hills. The image evokes a sense of tranquility and nostalgia as we imagine ships passing by while messages were relayed through this once vital communication hub. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our constant quest for progress even in challenging circumstances. Historic England has expertly preserved this moment in time through Emma Trevarthen's lens, allowing us to reflect on both the historical significance and natural splendor embodied by Flamborough Head Lighthouse.
