EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the iconic Cape Henry Lighthouses in Virginia, USA, around 1905. The pair of lighthouses, located at the entrance of the Chesapeake Bay in the Atlantic Ocean, have been guiding mariners safely to shore since 1792 and 1881, respectively. The older lighthouse, also known as the "Old Cape Henry Lighthouse," was the first lighthouse built in the United States under the orders of President George Washington. The newer lighthouse, known as the "Cape Henry New Light," was built to supplement the older lighthouse's range and better serve the increasing maritime traffic in the area. The photograph, taken in the early 20th century, showcases the historic structures in their coastal setting, with the older lighthouse standing proudly atop the cliff and the newer one nestled in the foreground. The image is believed to have been taken using a dry plate or glass negative process, a common photographic technique of the time. Cape Henry Lighthouses are designated as a National Historic Landmark and are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. They are a significant part of the country's maritime heritage and continue to attract visitors from around the world. This photograph is a testament to the enduring beauty and historical significance of these landmarks.
