For a living room or above a sofa, Feature or Showcase sizes give the best impact. Unframed prints are perfect if you'd like to choose your own frame.
If in doubt, contact me!
Prints are made to order, so I can't take one back just because you've changed your mind, but if it arrives damaged or isn't what you ordered, I'll replace it at no cost. You can swap it within 30 days, though you'd cover the return postage.
Twelve miles off the coast, on a rock that barely breaks the surface. That's where this sits. And from this distance, the Fastnet looks remarkably small. A white finger on a dark smudge, surrounded by nothing but Atlantic.
Most of my photographs of the lighthouse have it filling the frame, all Cornish granite detail and waves crashing around the base. But this particular evening I wanted something different. The sea had settled into long, gentle swells, which almost never happens out there. The light was doing that thing it sometimes does in late summer, where the clouds pick up soft pinks and warm peach tones well before actual sunset. I knew immediately this was the image to make.
The quiet subtlety is the whole point. That tiny structure marks the southwestern corner of Ireland. The last thing emigrants saw leaving for America, which is where "Teardrop of Ireland" comes from. The evening light catches the white of the tower just enough to hold your eye against all that ocean and sky. No crashing waves, no stormy skies. Just calm water, fading light, and a remarkable piece of human determination sitting out there on its own. I find that more moving than any amount of drama!
Read the story behind these photographs, from six or seven nights out on the Fastnet Rock.

We produce all our prints to order, so you can be sure you're getting the best quality work to hang on your wall. As a result, in busy times it can take a while to process the orders. In the worst case, which is generally during the peak months of July-September, it can take 4-6 weeks to receive large framed prints. Large canvases generally take 2-3 weeks. Unframed prints are generally also 2-3 weeks at worst.
We aim to get prints out as quickly as possible, so we would expect and hope that you would receive them earlier than the above timeframes. If you have a particular need to get a print quickly, please let us know in the order notes and we'll prioritize it for you, or you can email us at info@petercox.ie.
Prints are well-packaged and in the unlikely event that it arrives damaged, we'll send a replacement free of charge.
When your order ships, you'll receive an email with your tracking number.
Thanks for your trust, and we hope you get many years of enjoyment from your new print!
