South Foreland Cliffs and Lghthouse from the Sea of Dover, England, 20th century. Victorian lighthouse on South Foreland in St. Margarets Bay, Dover, Kent, England to warn ships approaching nearby Goodwin Sands. South Foreland was the first lighthouse to use an electric light in 1859. By 1875 the lighthouse was using carbon arc lamps powered by a steam-driven magneto. It was used by Guglielmo Marconi during his work on radio waves, receiving the first ship-to-shore message from the East Goodwin lightship

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic South Foreland Cliffs and Lighthouse from the Sea of Dover, England. Painted by CM Dixon in the 20th century, this Victorian lighthouse stands proudly on the South Foreland, overlooking St. Margarets Bay in Dover, Kent. Its primary purpose is to warn ships approaching the treacherous Goodwin Sands nearby. What makes this lighthouse particularly remarkable is its historical significance as a pioneer in lighting technology. In 1859, it became the first lighthouse to use an electric light. By 1875, carbon arc lamps powered by a steam-driven magneto illuminated its surroundings. Notably, Guglielmo Marconi utilized this very location during his groundbreaking work on radio waves and received his first ship-to-shore message from the East Goodwin lightship here. The photograph showcases not only the stunning white cliffs of Dover but also highlights their dramatic presence against a remote coastline backdrop. The image was taken during daylight hours when natural sunlight bathes everything in a soft glow. With its breathtaking view of land meeting sea and its rich history intertwined with technological advancements, this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both nature's beauty and human ingenuity at one glance. It serves as a testament to our ability to harness innovation while preserving our geographical features for generations to come.
