6586. Woodcut Engravings – Lighthouses – Lifeboats
- Woodcut Engravings. From Harper’s New Monthly Magazine and other period magazines. c.1830-70’s. Beautiful, clear and detailed engraving with wonderful detail of the light stations, life-saving stations, lifeboats and more. As no photos exist of the stations during this period, these are the only images that were available the public, and now to us, to get a sense of the look of these important locations. Engravings are unusually clean, bright and would be most attractive matted and framed or for illustrating your next book.
