- (framed hand-colored photo) Lifesavers Launching Surfboat c.1902. Beautiful vintage hand colored photo print showing a lifesaving crew launching the surfboat on Cape Cod’s sandy beach. With waves and storm clouds in the background, this delicate image is quite beautiful. The Keeper and six surfmen can be seen in their kapok life vests in great detail, as is the surfboat. The print is clean though subdued in its tones and measures 4 ½” x 9”. Done in 1902 in a number of forms, this original print may have been produced by Campbell Art Company, Elizabeth, New Jersey. The photo pring is in a period decorated wood frame with an ornate gilded fillagree surrounding the window. Cleaned and re-mounted on an archival backing, this will enhance any décor. This print exhibits beautiful detail and coloring and must be seen to be appreciated. A very nice Life-Saving Service collectible. (VG). $136.
