Send Cape Cod holiday greetings with Chatham Light dressed for Christmas, painted in watercolor by sailor-artist Alfred LaBanca.

The painting shows the white tower with a Christmas wreath, snow on the rooftops of the keeper's house, a small decorated tree by the path and the flag flying over the water at the elbow of the Cape.

Chatham Light traces its origin back to 1808, when two small wooden towers were built to help sailors avoid the dangerous shoals at the entrance to Chatham Harbor. The present tower was built in 1877 together with the keeper's house and the oil house. The light is still active, standing 48 feet high and flashing white twice every ten seconds.

Every card and print is reproduced from Alfred LaBanca's original watercolor, part of a collection of more than 200 lighthouse paintings. Choose a pack of 8 Christmas notecards with envelopes, or a small (7x9) or large (11x14) matted print, with tax, shipping and handling included.
