Frequently Asked Questions ▾
Where is Hook Head?
Hook Head is a peninsula in County Wexford, Ireland, home to Hook Lighthouse — a tower with origins dating back to the 12th century, making it one of the oldest working lighthouses in the world. It guards the entrance to Waterford Harbour and sits at the southern tip of the Hook Peninsula.
What does this print show?
The print captures Hook Head Lighthouse in long-exposure black and white, with the ancient stone tower in sharp focus and the sea and sky reduced to smooth, atmospheric tones around it.
What does 'Hook or by Crooke' mean?
The phrase 'by hook or by crook' is thought to originate from Cromwell's threat to capture Waterford Harbour either via Hook Head or via the village of Crooke on the opposite bank — though historians debate this origin.
