This engraving, titled "Laying the Foundation-Stone of the New Harbour Works, Carnarvon" takes us back to a momentous occasion in 19th-century Wales. The image showcases a grand ceremonial event that marks the beginning of an ambitious construction project along the coastal town of Carnarvon. The scene is filled with excitement and anticipation as dignitaries and workers gather on the shoreline to witness this historic milestone. A sense of pride emanates from every figure present, their faces reflecting determination and unity in their endeavor to transform this coastline. The foundation stone itself stands prominently at the center of attention, symbolizing not only physical progress but also hope for economic growth and prosperity for Carnarvon. Its placement signifies a new chapter in maritime development, promising improved trade opportunities and increased connectivity with other regions. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the significance of this ceremony. We can almost hear the cheers and applause that accompanied each stroke as workers laid down bricks one by one.
