EDITORS COMMENTS
"This engraving captures the historic Lytham Lighthouse in Lancashire, England, as it stood proudly along the coastline around 1863. Built circa 1848, the lighthouse was a vital navigational aid for seafarers, guiding them safely through the treacherous waters of the Irish Sea. However, this tranquil scene belies the tumultuous events that were to unfold. By the late 1860s, the lighthouse had fallen into disrepair, and the structure began to show signs of decay. The situation worsened during a particularly harsh winter in 1862-1863, when heavy storms and gales battered the coastline. The lighthouse, already weakened, could not withstand the onslaught of the elements. In December 1863, the lighthouse was destroyed by the relentless gales, leaving the local community in shock. The loss of the lighthouse was a significant blow to the safety and security of the maritime community, and plans were quickly put in place to build a new one. This engraving serves as a poignant reminder of the historical significance of the Lytham Lighthouse and the role it played in the lives of those who lived and worked along the Lancashire coastline. It is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of perseverance in the face of adversity." Image.
