Its title, *Land Marks*, points to the subject's purpose: along the shore of Liverpool Bay, towers and beacons gave mariners fixed points to steer by. The bay's shifting sandbanks and strong tides made the approach to the Mersey hazardous, so navigation depended on visible markers set against flat coastline. Such structures stood out as single upright forms in a wide landscape, and that is worth noticing here, where the tower's outline against open sky and water would have meant safe passage to a sailor.
