EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Lighthouse burned down" takes us back to a devastating moment in history. Created by Henry Charles Seppings Wright in 1898, this print captures the tragic destruction of the Little Crosby Lighthouse on the Lancashire coast. The image showcases the aftermath of a fierce fire that engulfed the lighthouse, leaving only ruins behind. The once majestic structure now stands as a haunting reminder of its former glory. The lantern room, which once guided ships safely through treacherous waters, is now reduced to ashes. The artist's attention to detail allows us to witness the sheer devastation caused by this catastrophic event. The coastal landscape surrounding the lighthouse is shrouded in darkness and despair, mirroring the emotions felt by those who relied on its guiding light. As we gaze upon this engraving from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of both the power and vulnerability of man-made structures against nature's wrath. It serves as a poignant symbol of resilience and reminds us that even our most trusted beacons can falter under unforeseen circumstances. This lithograph not only preserves an important historical moment but also invites contemplation about humanity's relationship with nature. It prompts us to reflect on how disasters shape our lives and communities while reminding us of our capacity for rebuilding and renewal amidst adversity.
