10110c. (cabinet photo) Pump Square in Siasconset by Henry S. Wyer c.1890’s. Extremely rare albumen photo by Henry S Wyer of Nantucket and Yonkers shows great detail of residents at Pump Square in Siasconset. The Nantucket Historical Association archives notes that “…the home in the background is known as “The Corners”, on center Street. Sitting on the fishing dray is Henry Tucker. The horse and box wagon belong to George C. Gardner and the man in the cart may be Avery Gardner. At the pump handle is little Annie Alden Folger, at the back of the pump is Joe Norcross.” View is unusually clean, clear, on tan mount with Wyer’s backmark. View has moderate foxing and soiling, some corner wear to mount. It is extremely difficult to find early views of Nantucket and this view is certainly one of the better and more interesting. View measures 4 ¼” x 6 ½”. (G+). $114.
