EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 1900s, showcasing a hand-coloured portrait of a Lifeboat Coxswain with his cork lifebelt. The coxswain, a middle-aged Caucasian man with a distinguished beard and grey hair, exudes an air of pride and confidence as he stands before us. His piercing eyes make direct eye contact with the camera, drawing us into his world of nautical expertise and bravery. This historic image captures the essence of the National Lifeboat Institution's dedication to water safety and rescue missions. The coxswain is depicted in front of a majestic lifeboat, symbolizing both transportation and safety on treacherous waters. His firm grip on the cork lifebelt signifies his commitment to saving lives at sea. The magic lantern slide technique used here adds depth and vibrancy to this already striking portrait. The colourization breathes new life into this snapshot from history, allowing us to appreciate every detail - from the texture of his facial hair to the weathered features on his face. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph by John Short, we are transported back in time; reminded of the courageous men who dedicated their lives to protecting others amidst turbulent waters. It serves as a powerful reminder that even in our modern age, there are still unsung heroes working tirelessly for our safety at sea.
