Title: Lighthouses of France: The Monuments and their Keepers
Description: Photo Flammarion, 2002. Hardcover, Illustrated by: Jean Guichard. Fine Condition/Near Fine. 9782080107152 Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages; slight scratching to front of jacket. Lighthouses are an icon of a simpler, more romantic era, which partly explains why they are so wellloved today. Unlike many other countries, France has resisted the trend toward total automation, and in many small ports and seaside towns, the lighthouse keeper is still a wellknown and respected figure. World renowned lighthouse photographer Jean Guichard's famously dramatic photographs of storms at sea illustrate only too well the perilous working conditions the lighthouse keepers face, and the text by Rene Gast provides a fascinating glimpse into the daily lives of these men and women, whose determination and nerves of steel have saved countless lives over the centuries. 144 pages. Item Type: Photo. Illustrator: Jean Guichard. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Architecture; ISBN/EAN: 9782080107152. Inventory No: dscf11487.
