EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Genoa Lighthouse in all its glory. Created by Charles Askey in 1818, this architectural masterpiece stands tall at the port of Genoa, a symbol of pride and an essential aid to night navigation for centuries. The Lanterna, as it is fondly known, has been an integral part of Genoa's landscape since its reconstruction in 1543. It proudly holds the title of being the world's third oldest lighthouse, standing as a testament to human ingenuity and maritime history. As we gaze upon this monochrome image, we are transported back in time to witness the beauty and grandeur of this sixteenth-century marvel. The lighthouse dominates the skyline with its towering presence against a backdrop of clear blue skies and calm seas. Its strategic location on the coast makes it not only a landmark but also an important geographical feature that guides ships safely into port. This engraving by Elizabeth Frances Batty showcases every intricate detail of Charles Askey's creation, from its sturdy exterior to the winding road leading up to it. Let us appreciate this remarkable piece of architecture that has stood strong for centuries, serving as both a beacon for sailors and a source of inspiration for admirers worldwide.
