EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving, titled "I. The Faraday Entering Ballinskelligs Bay 2. Lower Lighthouse on the Great Skellig 3" takes us back in time to witness a momentous event in maritime history. The image showcases the construction of the new lighthouse on Bull Rock off Dursey Head, Ireland. In this intricately detailed engraving, we see the majestic vessel I. The Faraday gracefully entering Ballinskelligs Bay as it embarks on its mission to lay down an underwater cable. Boats and rafts can be seen diligently working together to land the shore end of this vital communication lifeline. The lower lighthouse perched atop Great Skellig stands tall against the dramatic backdrop of crashing waves and rugged cliffs. Its beacon serves as a guiding light for seafarers navigating these treacherous waters. Adding to the allure of this print are enchanting beehive cells found on Great Skellig, showcasing ancient monastic settlements that have withstood centuries of wind and sea spray. This vintage engraving is not only a testament to Victorian illustrative techniques but also a window into our past—a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit to connect distant shores through technological advancements like transatlantic cables. As we gaze upon this historic artwork from 1884, we are reminded of how far we've come while appreciating the artistry and craftsmanship that went into creating such an evocative piece capturing a significant moment in time.
