This illustration transports us back in time to the early 1900s, showcasing the iconic Eddystone Lighthouse in all its Victorian glory. The Eddystone Lighthouse, located off the coast of Devon, England, is one of the most famous and historic lighthouses in the world. First erected in 1698, it has been rebuilt several times due to damage from storms and fires. In this illustration, we see the lighthouse in its fourth and current incarnation, which was completed in 1882. The design features a tall, tapering tower with a distinctive lantern and ornate decorative details. The lantern, which houses the light that guides ships safely to shore, is adorned with intricate ironwork and a large glass window. The illustration also captures the rugged beauty of the rocky coastline and the vast expanse of the sea. The waves crash against the cliffs, adding to the sense of power and majesty of the natural environment. In the foreground, we see a small boat making its way towards the lighthouse, adding a sense of scale and context to the scene. This illustration is a beautiful reminder of the importance of the Eddystone Lighthouse in maritime history and the awe-inspiring power of the natural world. It is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of those who built and maintained the lighthouse, ensuring the safety of ships and sailors for generations to come. This illustration is part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, a valuable resource for historians, researchers, and anyone with an interest in the history and culture of the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
