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 personally style of text and image.

"Under his tutelage I saw things that I had not noticed closely before, and a friendship developed, because I realized that with his artist's eye he could see things I didn't." — James Michener

". . .with his unique artistic and reportorial talent, Bansemer gives us a nostalgic, sometimes humorous, occasionally tart tour of its wonders. His brush and his pen capture not only its beauty but its fragility in the hands of man." — Walter Cronkite

"Hands down, it is the most beautiful book we have ever seen on the subject of lighthouses. It is a visual feast." — The Keeper's Log, The Official Journal of the U.S. Lighthouse Society
