Beachy Head Lighthouse, Eastbourne UK from Architectural Altruism - A Lighthouse Collective
Extra -
An original work from the exclusive series inspired by the lighthouse - according to George Bernard Shaw, the most altruistic structure constructed by man. 'There are no words to express the feelings that induce a sailor to offer fervent prayers when he sees this mark of sympathy expressed by his fellow men. Suddenly he sees that he is no longer alone in the midst of the ocean waves: he sees that people are caring for him with paternal solicitude.' — Lavrenty Zagoskin, on sighting the lighthouse at Sitka, Alaska, in 1839
