Last edition’s Mystery Photo showing a framed setting came quickly to three of the regular photo-spotters. The photo came from Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill. Bob Foreman of Grayson was first to identify it. “The location is Great Island Common, New Castle, New Hampshire. The light house in the distance is the Fort Point Light, also called the Fort Constitution Light.” Another identifying it was Karen Burnette Garner of Dacula.
George Graf of Palmyra, Va. gave more detail: “The art piece is entitled, Beauty, The “Common” Denominator, and is a joint work by artists, Walter Liff and Margaret French. This silhouette art sculpture is of an artist painting an ever-changing scene. New Castle is the smallest (pop. 968) and easternmost town in New Hampshire, and the only one located entirely on an archipelago. Settled in 1623, an earthwork defense was built on Fort Point which would evolve into Fort William and Mary. Chartered in 1679 as a parish of Portsmouth, it was incorporated in 1693 and named New Castle after the fort.”
