29146b. (mounted photo) Eastern Point Lighthouse at Gloucester, Massachusetts c.1900. Superb silver print of the Eastern Point Lighthouse at Gloucester, Massachusetts. The East Point Lighthouse has a long history with the first stone lighthouse being erected in 1832, a second larger version built in 1848 and the final structure as known today in 1890. Based on the structures shown in this photo it is estimated the photograph was made about 1900 or possibly earlier placing it within the time period that lighthouse keeper George E. Bailey (1892-1926) maintained the facility. There is a great view of a line of schooners passing the point behind the light station. Unusually large image measures 7 ½” x 9 ½” on original 11” x 14” mount. Mount has been punched for inclusion in an album. Beautiful clean, clear image, just a hint of foxing and light edge wear to mount. (VG+) $128.
