Bar Lighthouse, Mouth of St. Johns River, 1872
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the enchanting coast of Florida in the late 19th century. The derelict Bar Lighthouse stands proudly against the backdrop of a picturesque beach, surrounded by swaying palm trees that add a touch of tropical allure. The history behind this lighthouse is as fascinating as its image suggests. Originally built in 1830 near the mouth of St. Johns River, it succumbed to the relentless power of the encroaching sea just five years later. Undeterred by nature's force, a second lighthouse was erected on this very spot and is immortalized in this print. Captured from "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant and illustrated by eminent American artist Harry Fenn, this wood engraving showcases not only Fenn's artistic talent but also his ability to transport viewers through time. As we gaze upon this abandoned structure standing tall amidst its natural surroundings, we are reminded of both human resilience and nature's unstoppable forces. This print serves as a testament to our constant struggle with elements beyond our control while simultaneously celebrating the beauty found within these landscapes. Let your imagination wander back to an era when lighthouses were beacons guiding ships home safely through treacherous waters. Allow yourself to feel connected with history as you admire John J. Harley's skillful capture of Bar Lighthouse at the mouth of St. Johns River in all its haunting glory.
