EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of "The Lighthouse and Donkin Monument" in South Africa. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this image is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of this landmark. Standing tall against a picturesque backdrop, the lighthouse commands attention with its towering presence. Its light serves as a guiding beacon for ships navigating treacherous waters, symbolizing hope and safety. Next to it stands the Donkin Monument, a tribute to Sir Rufane Donkin, who founded Port Elizabeth. The surrounding area exudes an air of nostalgia, with old buildings dotting the landscape. The quarters where the lighthouse keeper and his wife once resided are visible nearby, reminding us of their dedication to maintaining this vital structure. Set atop a large hill known as Fort Frederick, this historic site overlooks Port Elizabeth's bustling harbor. From here, one can take in breathtaking views of both land and sea. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we are transported back in time to an era when South Africa was still emerging as a nation. It serves as a powerful reminder of our collective memory and heritage - connecting us to those who came before us while inspiring future generations to preserve these precious landmarks for years to come.
