EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Mike Hesketh-Roberts showcases the majestic St Mawes Castle, nestled along the picturesque coast of Cornwall. With its rich history and stunning architecture, this Tudor fortification stands as a testament to England's enduring defense strategies. The photograph captures a breathtaking view from the sea, offering an awe-inspiring perspective of the castle against a backdrop of dramatic clouds. The imposing structure proudly overlooks the vast expanse of the sea, symbolizing its historical significance in safeguarding England's shores. St Mawes Castle is steeped in centuries-old tales of resilience and strength. Built during Henry VIII's reign to protect against potential invasions, it has withstood countless challenges throughout history. Its strategic location on a rocky promontory makes it an impregnable fortress that once guarded against enemy ships approaching from afar. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back in time to an era when coastal defenses were paramount for national security. The intricate details of St Mawes Castle's design are beautifully captured in this print – every stone meticulously placed to create an architectural masterpiece. Mike Hesketh-Roberts' skillful photography not only highlights the castle's grandeur but also evokes a sense of wonder and admiration for our country's heritage. This photo serves as a reminder that our coastline holds hidden treasures like St Mawes Castle – testaments to our past and reminders of our collective responsibility to preserve them for future generations.
