Beinn Bhreagh, the summer estate Alexander Graham Bell built on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, is the setting here, and the 1910 date places the view at a busy stage of Bell's experiments there. Bell, the inventor of the telephone, had established the property near Baddeck around 1886 and kept working on aviation, hydrofoil boats and other projects on the grounds for decades. The Gallery board files it under Thanksgiving, a holiday Canada observes in October, which gives the scene a seasonal setting worth noticing alongside its engineering history.
