Bansemer's Book of Florida Lighthouses

Written and fully illustrated by internationally known artist Roger Bansemer, this book, depicting Florida's thirty lighthouses in over 200 paintings and sketches, is sure to be an instant collector's treasure. The artist recently visited each lighthouse—a feat which took him on many land and sea adventures—and offers here the only book with an accurate depiction of how each looks today.

Time and technology have caught up with the lighthouses of Florida. Most have withstood wars and weather, but they have not been able to withstand the assault of the modern electronic age. Because of this, many a light has faded from the horizon. Thirty Florida lighthouses still stand. Some of them have been lovingly restored by concerned groups, but others are barely standing, tattered by erosion, vandalism, and the effects of time. Some are remote and lonely places seldom visited; others have become attractions, open to the inspection of the curious and sincere lighthouse enthusiasts alike. All have stories to tell, and they are told here in Roger Bansemer's unique style of text and image.
