The title places this scene on the Florida coast, a shoreline that has drawn painters and photographers for well over a century for its strong sunlight, low horizons, and quickly changing skies. Henry Flagler's railroad, extended down the east coast in the 1890s and early 1900s, opened towns such as St. Augustine and Palm Beach to winter visitors, and with them came a steady stream of artists recording the resort life and landscape. Pictures from this period often balance the sea with the sand and sky, so it is worth looking at how much of the frame is given to open water.
