The Lighthouse

Just off the production line - another small Open and Close piece ...


... open the doors to reveal the story within ...



This story is based around a painting I found in an old 1920's art book
titled The Lighthouse (Newlyn, Cornwall)', 1893 - artist unknown 
after a painting in the Manchester Art Gallery


Two fishermen - 'Uncle' Henry Kitchen, whose descendants still live in Newlyn, and John Henry Tonkin - rowing back into the harbour with their catch.


... a chest full of sea faring stories ...


... map grids from old sea charts ...


... thank you for closing the doors ...
