EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view reconstruction drawing by Peter Dunn takes us back in time to the year 1764, showcasing the St Helens Quarantine Station located on the enchanting Isles of Scilly. The image transports us to a bygone era when ships sailed these treacherous waters, and quarantine stations played a crucial role in safeguarding public health. The graphic depiction beautifully captures the essence of this Georgian-era structure nestled along the rugged coast. The attention to detail is remarkable, as every line and stroke brings life to this historical gem. One can almost hear the crashing waves and feel the salty sea breeze while gazing at this print. St Helens Quarantine Station served as a vital checkpoint for incoming vessels during an era plagued by contagious diseases. Ships would be required to anchor offshore until given clearance by authorities who meticulously inspected passengers and cargo for signs of illness or infection. Peter Dunn's artwork not only showcases his exceptional talent but also serves as a poignant reminder of our collective history. It reminds us how communities adapted and responded to challenges that threatened their well-being centuries ago. As we admire this stunning piece, let it transport us beyond its aesthetic appeal – prompting reflection on our own resilience in times of adversity. Let it serve as a testament to human ingenuity and determination throughout history, reminding us that even amidst uncertainty, we have always found ways to protect one another.
