EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "A Floating Bethel" we are transported back to the 19th century, where a unique sight unfolds before our eyes. The image showcases a remarkable floating chapel known as a Bethel, nestled amidst the rugged coastal landscape of Cornwall. This historical print, part of a private collection and brought to us by Bridgeman Images, offers us a glimpse into the lives of fishermen who sought solace and spiritual guidance in their perilous profession. The scene is imbued with an air of tranquility as we witness fishermen gathering around this unconventional place of worship. The Bethel itself stands proudly on the water's surface, its wooden structure adorned with religious symbols and flags fluttering gently in the breeze. Its presence serves as both sanctuary and beacon for those seeking comfort and strength before venturing out into treacherous waters. This evocative artwork originally accompanied an article published in The British Workman in 1873, shedding light on the importance of faith within these tight-knit communities. It reminds us that even amidst harsh conditions and constant danger, people found solace in their shared beliefs. Through this enchanting engraving, we are transported to another time - one where religion intertwined seamlessly with everyday life. It serves as a testament to human resilience and unwavering devotion amid adversity while paying homage to the rich history of Cornwall's fishing heritage.
