EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a section across the fourth Eddystone lighthouse, an architectural marvel situated on the Stone, 13 miles southeast of Polperro in Cornwall, England. Constructed by the brilliant English civil engineer John Smeaton between 1756 and 1759, this iconic structure stood as a beacon of safety for ships navigating treacherous waters. The engraving, taken from Samuel Smiles' renowned book "Lives of the Engineers" published in London in 1862, immortalizes this remarkable feat of engineering. For an impressive span of 127 years, this majestic lighthouse diligently fulfilled its duty to protect seafarers from potential shipwrecks along these perilous shores. Its towering presence served as a warning to passing vessels and ensured their safe passage through these hazardous waters. The image not only captures the intricate details and precision with which Smeaton designed his masterpiece but also highlights the significance of his contribution to maritime safety. This historic engraving serves as a testament to both Smeaton's ingenuity and the enduring legacy he left behind. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring print, we are reminded of the vital role that engineers play in shaping our world. Their dedication and expertise continue to safeguard lives and propel progress forward.
