The title's wordplay on Boston's old nickname, Beantown, sets this picture apart from the more formal views of the monument on this board, and it hints at a lighthearted souvenir rather than a straight record. The monument is the granite obelisk in Charlestown, raised to honor the battle of June 17, 1775, though most of the fighting took place on nearby Breed's Hill. Its cornerstone was laid in 1825 with the Marquis de Lafayette in attendance, and the shaft was completed in 1843, rising about 221 feet.
