EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the historical significance of the 2nd Eddystone Lighthouse, a wooden structure near Plymouth, Devon. Built by Rudyerd in 1708, this lighthouse stood nearly 30 meters high and served as a beacon of light for ships navigating the treacherous waters off the coast.
The intricate details of this architectural marvel are beautifully preserved in this image, showcasing the craftsmanship and dedication that went into its construction. The towering height of the lighthouse is evident, standing tall against the backdrop of the sea.
However, despite its grandeur, tragedy struck when a devastating fire destroyed the lighthouse in 1755. This event marked the end of an era for this iconic structure, leaving behind only memories and photographs like this one to tell its story.
As we gaze upon this photograph from Mary Evans Picture Library, we are reminded of both the fragility and resilience of human creations. The legacy of the 2nd Eddystone Lighthouse lives on through images like these, preserving a piece of history for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
