EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the mid-19th century, offering a glimpse into the historical charm of Bognor seafront and St Johns Chapel in the Steyne. Published by J & E Harwood of Fenchurch Street, this print is now part of the Prints and Drawings Collection at West Sussex Record Office. The scene depicted here is bustling with life as people go about their daily activities against a backdrop of stormy seas. The imposing St Johns Chapel stands tall amidst the chaos, its architectural beauty contrasting with the tempestuous waves crashing onto the shore. Its presence serves as a symbol of hope and resilience for both locals and visitors alike. Intriguingly, scattered throughout this picturesque landscape are sheep grazing peacefully on patches of grass near the chapel. Their inclusion adds an unexpected touch to this coastal scene, reminding us that even in times of turmoil, nature continues its course undeterred. Boats dotting the horizon hint at Bognor Regis' maritime heritage while also serving as a reminder that these waters were once teeming with fishermen seeking their livelihoods from these unpredictable seas. This print offers not only a visual feast but also invites contemplation on how time has shaped this seaside town's identity. It reminds us that despite storms faced in history or present-day challenges, Bognor Regis remains steadfast - an enduring testament to human spirit and natural beauty intertwined harmoniously along England's southern coast.
