EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting era of 19th-century Britain. Titled "Picturesque Europe - The British Isles, c1870" it showcases the remarkable Rhenish Tower in Lynmouth, Devon. Built in the late 1850s by General Rawdon, this tower served as a storage facility for saltwater used in sea baths. The image is taken from Volume I of "Picturesque Europe - The British Isles" a literary masterpiece published by Cassell, Petter & Galpin in London during that time. Its intricate engraving beautifully captures the haunting allure of this fishing village on England's coast. Intriguingly gothic and surrounded by breathtaking natural scenery, Lynmouth stands as an idyllic tourist attraction even today. In this snapshot, we see a lone gentleman standing at the foot of the tower's steps, adding an element of mystery to the scene. The photograph exudes a sense of nostalgia and transports us to a different time when literature played an essential role in capturing the essence of European countries like Britain. This particular print was preserved by The Print Collector/Heritage Images, ensuring its historical significance endures. With its quirky charm and picturesque setting, this print serves as both a visual delight and a testament to our enduring fascination with Victorian-era aesthetics.
