The image takes us on a journey from its humble beginnings as a wooden structure in 1696 to its grand transformation in 1879, beautifully captured through an exquisite wood engraving by a French artist. The lighthouse's development is depicted with meticulous attention to detail, highlighting each stage of architectural advancement. From its early baroque design to its final form, this visual narrative allows us to witness the progression of this iconic landmark over time. The exterior view reveals the lighthouse standing tall amidst crashing waves and rugged rocks, serving as a beacon of hope for sailors navigating these perilous waters. Its sturdy construction and strategic placement showcase both functionality and aesthetic appeal. A prominent feature showcased in this print is the intricate stair case leading up to the tower. This spiral staircase not only adds elegance but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess.
