{{edit semi-protected|Ida Lewis (lighthouse keeper)|answered=no}}
The picture of Ida Lewis rowing appears to be be Grace Darling by artist Thomas Brooks, not Ida Lewis. refer to www.gracedarling.co.uk [[User:Rmtait|Rmtait]] ([[User talk:Rmtait|talk]]) 23:37, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
:[[File:Red information icon with gradient background.svg|20px|link=|alt=]] '''Not done for now:'''<!-- Template:ESp --> - Interesting problem - the description of this image is that it is a woodcut. It is very similar to the oil painting "Grace Darling: by Thomas Brooks" at [www.gracedarling.co.uk Grace Darling.co], but is even more similar to (but not the same as) the Ida Lewis picture at [http://www.rhodeislandlighthousehistory.info/lime_rock_lighthouse.html at rhodeislandlighthousehistory] which appears to be an engraving. The description of a similar engraving at Quahog.org [http://www.quahog.org/factsfolklore/index.php?id=176 here] describes it as an "Image from a circa 1869 carte de visite"<br />The woodcut includes a lighthouse, not included in either the painting or the engraving.<br />I think we may have a case of Victorian plagiarism - but without more information on the dates of the originals, we do not know who copied who. Darling's famous rescue was in 1838, Lewis's in 1869 so the painting probably pre-dates the others, but variations of that image are used on several websites and publications about Lewis so it is "perceived" to be her. - [[User:Arjayay|Arjayay]] ([[User talk:Arjayay|talk]]) 11:38, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
