Heleen (the Netherlands) sent this postcard with a painting of the famous lighthouse or
Ar-Men, and an adventure from 100 years ago:
Achille Beltrame (1871-1945). "The keeper of the lighthouse of Ar Men, on the French coast, had remained isolated from the mainland for 53 days due to bad weather conditions. He managed, thanks to a dangerous acrobatic journey, to return to land (1926).
The same lighthouse appears on the following postcard sent by Fabienne (France):
And some more lighthouses in Brittany, all sent by Fabienne as well:
 |
| Île Vierge |
 |
| St-Georges-de-Didonne |
 |
| La Vieille |
You must have quite the lighthouse collection!
ReplyDeleteMy collection of lighthouses is big, I confess. But I am always happy to get new lighthouses on stamps or postcards, both from underrepresented countries, or from lighthouses I know. I like to have more than one postcard of the same lighthouse :)
