PORT CLYDE — On Dec. 14, 2016, Robert and Betsy Webber donated a rare, signed Andrew Wyeth print, entitled Marshall Point Light, to the Marshall Point Lighthouse and Museum committee in honor of Bob and Jaye Sierer, for their longtime service and dedication to the Marshall Point Lighthouse and Museum. The Sierers made the presentation on behalf of the Webbers.

Betsy's mother, Elsie Lowell Green, originally purchased the print at Senter-Crane Department Store in Rockland in 1940. Elsie and Andrew Wyeth became friends while spending summers on Horse Point Road in Port Clyde. Their friendship lasted many years and in 2004, Wyeth signed the print for Green.

Wyeth painted the original watercolor in the 1930s, while still in his 20s. In 1940 Ketterlinus Printing Company of Philadelphia, which also printed works by his father, N. C. Wyeth, printed a calendar that contained the Marshall Point Light print. It is believed to be one of the first Wyeth watercolors to be released as a print. Not long after the production of the calendar, Ketterlinus lost its building to fire, which destroyed most of the Wyeth calendars. Few remain and the print that was donated to Marshall Point Lighthouse and Museum may be the only known signed Wyeth print of Marshall Point Light.

The signed Andrew Wyeth Marshall Point Light print will be on display when the museum opens to the public in the spring of 2017.
