28306. (cabinet photo) Smeaton’s Eddystone Lighthouse Tower, Plymouth, England c1890-1900. Built in 1759, this tall granite tower was the third tower to mark this dangerous spot and lasted for 120 years until cracks began to appear in the rock upon which it stood. In the 1870’s the upper 2/3 of the tapered granite tower with lantern and gallery was dismantled and transported to Plymouth Hoe, a grassy hill overlooking the town and harbor, where it was re-erected as a monument to the builder. The stump of Smeaton’s tower still stands on the original rock to this day. Period cabinet view measures 4” x 5” and is clean and clear. (VG+). $54.
