The engraving depicts this iconic lighthouse standing tall and proud amidst the picturesque landscape of Boston Harbor. With its beacon shining brightly, it guided countless ships safely through treacherous waters. The mezzotint engraving is a true rarity, being the only known example from that era. It was skillfully crafted by William Burgis, who expertly captured the essence of this maritime landmark.
