EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in September 1992, this print showcases the extensive river widening work taking place on the picturesque River Fowey in Lostwithiel, Cornwall. The image offers a glimpse into the meticulous engineering efforts undertaken to create a road access to the nearby sewerage farm, located half a mile downstream from Coulson Park. The scene is bustling with activity as various elements of construction come together harmoniously. Barges laden with cages of stones navigate through the calm waters while cranes tower above, their mechanical arms gracefully maneuvering heavy loads. Diggers and robust lorries contribute to the collective effort, each playing a vital role in transforming this section of the river. Scaffolding structures punctuate the landscape, serving as temporary platforms for diligent workmen who meticulously execute their tasks amidst this dynamic environment. Their expertise and dedication are evident as they collaborate seamlessly to bring about this significant infrastructure development. Jonathan Barker's keen eye captures not only an impressive feat of engineering but also highlights Cornwall's unique waterways and transport systems. This snapshot serves as a testament to human ingenuity and innovation in harnessing nature's resources for practical purposes. Displayed at Royal Cornwall Museum, this print invites viewers to reflect upon our ability to shape our surroundings while respecting its inherent beauty. It stands as a reminder that progress can coexist harmoniously with nature when approached thoughtfully and responsibly.
