The artist who painted

The artist who painted "Coastwise Lights" was Harry Faulkner van der Weyden, son of Union Officer, artist, inventor and photographer, Henry vander Weyde. So he was a grandson of P H vander Weyde.

Harry was born in Sept 1868 in Boston MA and died in London in Sept 1952. He lived before WWI in Montreuil-sur-Mer in the Pas de Calais, France where he had a studio.

After the war he and his large family moved to England where he lived in Rye for a while. The "Coastwise Lights" apparently depicts Dungeness Lighthouse on the right and the lights of Rye on the little hill on the left.
