The image of the Fire Island lighthouse is from a book called “Unique Long Island Camera Sketches" created by the Long Island Railroad published in 1901. The book was compliments of the LIRR and encouraged people to travel east to explore the beauty of Long Island.

 

 

An inscription in the books says that “The Long Island Railroad Company in the belief that the ‘sun pictures’ will describe better than words Long Island's many charms.” The photo caption simply reads, “Fire Island Light”
