EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving showcases the iconic Second Eddystone Lighthouse, standing proudly near Plymouth. The artwork, created by an English School artist in the 18th century, is now part of a private collection. The image tells the story of resilience and innovation as it depicts the aftermath of the devastating storm that destroyed the first lighthouse on Eddystone Rocks in 1703. In response to this tragedy, John Rudyard was entrusted with constructing a new beacon. Completed in 1709, this second lighthouse became a symbol of hope and safety for sailors navigating treacherous waters. The print beautifully captures a maritime scene filled with ships gracefully sailing through the English Channel. Each vessel represents transportation and communication links vital for trade and exploration during that era. The inscription on one boat adds an intriguing touch to this historical snapshot. With Cornwall's stunning coastline serving as its backdrop, this engraving highlights both England's natural beauty and its commitment to safeguarding seafarers' lives. The tugboat visible in the distance further emphasizes human efforts to protect those at sea. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Stapleton Collection, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary feat of engineering that has stood strong against nature's fury for centuries.
