Salt Harbor Sunset Beacon

A commanding vintage travel poster announces Salt Harbor in bold condensed cream lettering against a deep navy field. On the left, a white lighthouse with a coral lantern room and keeper’s cottage perches atop rugged coral-red cliffs that drop into a navy sea. Two cream-and-coral gulls wheel across the sky, one banking toward the viewer. A low, perfectly round coral sun sits on the horizon, its light broken into horizontal bands across the water. The composition is tightly cropped and graphic, with the lighthouse anchoring the left third and the sun occupying the right. Flat areas of navy, coral, and cream meet with the slight misregistration and paper grain of screen printing. No gradients or modeled shadows appear; form is defined by overlapping silhouettes and the three-color restriction. The mood is both nostalgic and invitational, evoking mid-century WPA and railway posters that promised distant coasts. The limited palette and visible print texture give the scene a tactile, collectible quality, while the ferry schedule at the bottom quietly converts the image from landscape into timetable.
