Robert Salmon
Robert Salmon was born in Whitehaven, England, where he executed his first paintings. He was in London from 1802 to 1806, Liverpool from 1806 to 1812, and Greenock, Scotland, from 1812 to 1822. After returning to Liverpool, Greenock, and London for short periods, he immigrated to the United States in 1828. His work was well received in Boston, where he remained until 1842. Salmon's fine draftsmanship and attention to atmospheric effects influenced subsequent American marine painters, especially Fitz Henry Lane, Albert Van Beest, and William Bradford. Salmon’s works can be found in the collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Peabody Essex Museum, Salem, Massachusetts; Farnsworth Art Museum, Rockland, Maine; and the Smithsonian American Art Museum and National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.

- Visiting Day at the US Life Saving ServiceBy Xanthus Russell SmithLocated in Costa Mesa, CAAlthough suggesting a yacht or boating club due to its prime waterfront location, this panoramic view by Philadelphia artist Xanthus Smith, most likely shows a US Lifesaving Service facility in one of the mid-Atlantic states. Originating in the mid-1800’s, the U.S. Lifesaving Service’s earliest buildings were strictly utilitarian, but as the Service grew, so did the size of the stations. By the 1880s, they were becoming more fashionable and usually were made up of two or three structures as shown here. The main building contained the offices and berthing area for the crew and usually featured a lookout tower on the roof. Smaller buildings housed classrooms and medical facilities. Some were built to resemble a Swiss chalet and one was even designed with a clock tower. Noted architect A. B. Bibb designed stations like this one that looked much like beach resort homes with lookout towers. The stations were usually located near the approaches to major ports and were maintained by the United States Revenue Marine (later renamed the United States Revenue Cutter...Category
