About this postcard

A small stone lighthouse stands on a rocky point at the edge of Lake Cobbosseecontee, with a full moon and its reflection on the water and dark wooded shores in the distance. The card's caption names the scene as moonlight on Lake Cobbosseecontee at Augusta, Maine. Cobbosseecontee is a large lake in Kennebec County just west of Augusta, long a summer resort area; the little lighthouse-like beacon shown here is a picturesque landmark on the lake rather than a coastal navigational light.
