EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph titled "Lighthouse and Jetty, le Havre". Gustave Le Gray transports us to the picturesque coastal town of Le Havre in France. Taken in 1857, this albumen silver print showcases the artist's mastery in capturing both the grandeur of nature and the delicate details of human-made structures. The image features a majestic lighthouse standing tall against a dramatic sky, its beacon shining brightly to guide ships safely into port. The lighthouse stands proudly at the end of a sturdy jetty that stretches out into the vast expanse of water. The composition creates a sense of harmony between man and nature, as if they are working together to protect those navigating treacherous waters. Le Gray's choice to present this scene in black and white adds an element of timelessness to the photograph. It allows us to focus on the contrasting textures - from the rough stones forming both lighthouse and jetty, to the smooth surface of rippling waves beneath them. This remarkable print measures 31 x 40.3 cm (12 3/16 x 15 7/8 in. ), showcasing Le Gray's attention to detail even within such dimensions. As we gaze upon it, we can almost feel ourselves transported back in time, experiencing firsthand what it was like for sailors approaching Le Havre under its watchful eye. With his artistic vision and technical expertise, Gustave Le Gray has created an enduring masterpiece that captures not only a specific place but also
