EDITORS COMMENTS
The Prince of Wales and Duke of Edinburgh laying the foundation-stone of the new Eddystone lighthouse, illustration from The Illustrated London News, 1879 (engraving) by Overend, William Heysham. This print captures a historic moment as two prominent figures in British royalty, the Prince of Wales and Duke of Edinburgh, lay the foundation-stone for the fourth Eddystone lighthouse. Located on treacherous rocks 14 miles off the coast of Plymouth, Devon, this iconic structure was designed by Sir James Nicholas Douglass and would become a beacon of safety for ships navigating through the English Channel. In this vivid engraving, we witness a scene filled with anticipation and determination amidst pouring rain. The steamer boats surrounding them symbolize both progress and support as they embark on this ambitious construction project. With flags waving proudly in the wind, it is evident that this event holds great significance not only to those present but also to maritime history. The future King Edward VII and his brother stand united at the forefront - their presence signifying continuity in royal lineage while embracing modern advancements. As they lay down these foundations together, one can't help but feel inspired by their commitment to ensuring safe passage for seafarers. This remarkable illustration serves as a testament to human ingenuity and collaboration against nature's formidable forces. It reminds us that even amidst turbulent weather conditions or challenging circumstances, unity can lead to extraordinary achievements.
