EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Eddystone Lighthouse, Devon and Cornwall Border - A Beacon of Hope and Safety in the 1900s" This evocative photograph, taken around the turn of the 20th century, captures the iconic Eddystone Lighthouse standing proudly against the backdrop of the rugged Devon and Cornwall coastline. Located near the border between these two historic counties in the English Riviera, the lighthouse has been a symbol of resilience and safety for mariners for centuries. The image showcases the lighthouse's timeless beauty, with its distinctive white tower and red band gleaming in the sunlight. The surrounding sea, dotted with small waves, adds to the serene atmosphere, while the nearby rocks and jagged cliffs serve as a reminder of the raw power of nature. A traditional rowing boat can be seen in the foreground, adding a sense of scale and human connection to the scene. Eddystone Lighthouse, first lit in 1698, has an intriguing history. It has been rebuilt several times due to damage from storms and fires. The current structure, designed by Sir James Douglass and completed in 1882, stands at a height of 137 feet (42 meters) and is still operational today. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the British coastline and the importance of lighthouses in guiding seafarers through treacherous waters. It invites us to appreciate the raw beauty of the natural world and the ingenuity of human innovation.
