EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Phare de Douvres, suppose de construction romaine; et tour carree du chateau de Douvres" showcases the architectural wonders of Dover. Created by the European School in the 19th century, this print is part of a private collection and was featured in Louis Figuier's book "Les Merveilles De La Science ou Description Populaire des Inventions Modernes". The image beautifully captures two iconic structures: the Phare de Douvres (Dover Lighthouse) and the square tower of Dover Castle. The lighthouse, believed to have been constructed during Roman times, stands tall against a picturesque backdrop. Its purposeful design serves as a beacon of light for sailors navigating treacherous waters. Adjacent to it, we see the majestic square tower of Dover Castle, an ancient fortress steeped in history. This small castle complex exudes an air of enchantment reminiscent of fairy tales and royal abodes. The engraving not only celebrates these architectural marvels but also symbolizes scientific progress and invention during the industrial revolution. It highlights how engineering achievements like lighthouses played a crucial role in ensuring maritime safety. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are transported back to 19th-century England—a time when wonders were being discovered and popularized through literature and art. This print serves as a testament to human ingenuity throughout history while reminding us of our fascination with both natural beauty and man-made creations.
