EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Brighton Chain Pier, both before and after a devastating storm in 1833. The engraving, created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, captures the dramatic transformation of this historical landmark. In its pre-storm state, the pier stands proudly against a serene backdrop of Brighton Beach. Its elegant structure stretches out into the calm waters, inviting visitors to stroll along its promenade and enjoy breathtaking views of the coastline. This image represents a time when Brighton was emerging as a popular seaside destination for tourists seeking relaxation and entertainment. However, tragedy struck when a powerful storm battered the pier in 1833. The engraving's second panel depicts the aftermath of this destructive event. The once majestic structure is now reduced to ruins; broken beams jut out from collapsed sections while debris litters the shoreline. This scene serves as a reminder of nature's relentless power and its ability to reshape even our most cherished landmarks. The print is part of an illustration series featured in "Interesting and Remarkable Places" by C Mackenzie (John Reynolds), published around 1850. It offers viewers a glimpse into history, allowing us to reflect on how these places have evolved over time. Through this evocative image, we are transported back to that fateful day in 1833 when Brighton Chain Pier faced its greatest challenge yet – forever etching itself into local lore as testament to resilience amidst adversity.
