Portland, Dorset, England. 2011
From my work ‘The Last Stand’.
“The Verne Battery was built in 1892 in a disused stone quarry on the Isle of Portland in Dorset as part of Britain’s coastal defences. Decommissioned in 1906, it was used after WW1 for storing field guns brought over from France, and during WW2 to house ammunition in preparation for the D-Day landings. It also became an AA battery (anti-aircraft artillery). Thousands of gravestones were hewn from Portland Stone for the fallen Allied soldiers who died in both World Wars. It was also used to build the Cenotaph in Whitehall.”
The prints are made at my lab using digital C-type archival photographic paper with a beautiful lustre finish.
Each print is signed and numbered.
