EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of lighthouses in the Red Sea. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this engraving transports us to a time when these structures played a vital role in guiding ships through treacherous waters. The image depicts several lighthouses standing tall amidst the vastness of the Red Sea. The intricate details captured by the artist highlight their architectural brilliance and strength. These beacons of light were crucial for sailors navigating through dangerous reefs such as Daedalus Reef and Ushruffee Reef, as well as the challenging Strait of Jubal. The composition evokes a sense of awe and wonder at both the natural surroundings and human ingenuity. The contrasting elements of rugged cliffs, crashing waves, and serene skies create a dramatic backdrop for these towering structures made from wrought iron. Originally featured in The Illustrated London News on May 24th, 1862, this engraving offers us a glimpse into maritime history. It serves as a reminder of humanity's constant quest to conquer nature's obstacles while ensuring safe passage for those venturing across oceans. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from their Fine Art Finder collection, allowing us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance.
