The site of the transfer ceremony for the Alaska Purchase in 1867, and an ancient Tlinglit settlement, Sitka on the Alaskan panhandle was developed by the Russian-American Company in the early 19th century and was a centre for pulp, gold mining and fish canning in the early 20th century. Richardson depicts the old Russian governor's house, Baranof castle, on the mound, and a Tlingit village on the left. Born in Readfield, Maine, Richardson made a speciality of painting Alaskan scenery.
