Photography by Philip Plisson and Guillaume Plisson.
'Lighthouses Of The Atlantic' is a remarkable pictorial inventory of the lighthouses which protect the coasts of England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, France, Spain and Portugal. Each lighthouse has its own character, and each of the 140 photographed in this book has played a significant role in the history and often the legends of the area.
Philip Plisson and Guillaume Plisson's photographs show the physical setting of each lighthouse and often the interiors and portraits of the men who, as automation arrives, will be the last operators. David Charles tells the story of each lighthouse and the maritime activities around them. There is a wealth of practical and statistical information given together with a listing of Lighthouse Museums.
