- (matted photograph) First Minot’s Ledge Lighthouse c.1840’s View by Joseph Lebherz. Wonderful 8 ½” x 11” coloor matted photo view of the completed iron lighthouse recreated by historian Joseph Lebherz. Designed to illustrate his upcoming book on the subject, this is from a set of views that follows the construction of the 1840’s iron skeleton lighthouse on Minot’s Ledge off the coast of Cohasset. Using hand-built models of the light tower sections, the drilling machinery, ships of the era and combining them with images of workers and equipment of the period, Joe was able to put together dioramas of each phase of construction which he photographed. Together this set tells the story of the construction of this ill-fated light tower at this dangerous Massachusetts location. This is the completed view and is a work of art. Photo measures 8 ½” x 11” matted to 13” x 15”. © Joseph Lebherz. (M).
