EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dating back to the 1910s, presents an enchanting scene of the Dunkirk Lighthouse (Phare de Dunkerque or Phare de Risban) located in the northern French city of Dunkirk (Dunkerque). The lighthouse, completed in 1843, stands as the highest automated first-order lighthouse in France, proudly overlooking the English Channel. Its distinctive red and white stripes serve as a beacon of safety and guidance for mariners navigating the treacherous waters. In the foreground, a group of three men and a dog engage in their daily tasks, adding a sense of human connection and activity to the serene landscape. Their attire suggests the early 20th century, with one man wearing a traditional sailor's cap and another donning a heavy coat against the chilly winds. The third man, with a dog by his side, appears to be mending a net or rope, while the dog keeps a watchful eye on the proceedings. The image also showcases the picturesque marina, port, and harbor of Dunkirk, with various boats and ships anchored nearby. The tranquil waters reflect the clear blue sky, creating a breathtaking tableau that speaks to the rich maritime history and enduring charm of this beloved French coastal town.
