This engraving, titled "Phare de Pontaillac, construit en charpente de bois" transports us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the wonders of scientific progress and engineering during that time. The artwork showcases the magnificent lighthouse constructed entirely out of wooden framework, standing tall against the backdrop of a serene coastal landscape. The Phare de Pontaillac is depicted as an architectural marvel, symbolizing both human ingenuity and the industrial revolution that swept across Europe in this era. Its intricate design and meticulous craftsmanship are evident in every detail captured by the European School artist. This print originally served as an illustration for Louis Figuier's renowned book, "Les Merveilles De La Science ou Description Populaire des Inventions Modernes". Through popularization, Figuier aimed to bring knowledge about modern inventions to a wider audience. This engraving perfectly encapsulates his mission by showcasing one of these remarkable inventions – lighthouses – which played a crucial role in maritime safety during this period.
