A lighthouse topped by a weathervane and with an American flag flying nearby sets this sepia view apart from the many coastal towers in the gallery's lighthouse group. The sepia tone points to an early photographic process, when prints were often toned to warm browns for durability and a softer look. Lighthouses of this era were working aids to navigation, tended by keepers who maintained the lamp and logged the weather, so the flag and weathervane suggest a station that was also a place of daily routine and national pride. Worth noticing is how the weathervane and flag give a sense of wind direction and allegiance in a single frame.
