Lighthouses: A Photographic Portfolio Book Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Photographs of one hundred lighthouses have been selected for their beauty, clarity of architectural depiction, geographic distribution, and representation of types. Twenty American states are represented: Michigan, 15; Wisconsin, 9; California, 8; Florida, 7; Oregon, North Carolina, and Maine, 5 each; Minnesota, 4; New York, 3; Massachusetts and Ohio, 2 each; and Pennsylvania, Virginia, Alaska, Washington, Illinois, New Jersey, South Carolina, and Rhode Island, 1 each. These group by coast into 33 Great Lakes, 25 Atlantic, and 15 Pacific U.S. lighthouses. Half the U.S. lighthouses shown are conical; a fifth are square; a tenth are octagonal; a tenth are cylindrical; and one example each is hexagonal and nonagonal. Nine extra-U.S. lighthouses are also included for comparison’s sake. Julie Stetzko Taff provides illuminating captions.

What an interesting book. Thoroughly enjoyed looking thru the book especially reading short descriptions of each lighthouse including the year they where built. The photos are great using many different angles and at night,daylight,sunset,sunrise and more. I especially enjoyed the short descriptions of each lighthouse I like to pick up the book while I am watching TV to thumb thru and enjoy yet not have to get deeply into reading too much information. Well worth the price.
I am on disablity and i love to draw and paint lighthouses so when I found this book I was in heaven the pictures are fantastic and the detail is great. I have already drawn a couple and enjoyed every minute of it. thank you
THIS BOOK HAS BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS AND WOULD LOOK GREAT ON ANYONE'S COFFEE TABLE. IT'S INTERESTING TO LOOK AT, EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT INTO LIGHTHOUSES OR THE SHORES OF AMERICA.
Julie has a knack for seeing beauty in everything she works at. This book is no exception.Jeanne Doherty Flynn
