2024 marks 200 years of the RNLI. In this anniversary year, Women of the RNLI shines a spotlight on the various roles that women have – and always have had – in this vital charity.

At the heart of Women of the RNLI is the photography of Jack Lowe, an artist who for almost a decade has been documenting the crews and views of every RNLI lifeboat station around the shores of the UK and Ireland. His evocative images, captured using Victorian glass-plate technology, allow us to see the modern work of the RNLI through an historical lens.

This postcard pack comprises of 10 images of women RNLI volunteers from across the UK and Ireland from the Women of the RNLI exhibition at the National Maritime Museum.
