6562f. THE BEACH PATROL. Harper’s Weekly. January 6, 1894. Wonderful large 10” x 14” full page illustration depicts two surfmen, having just met on beach patrol, returning to their stations. The patrolman’s dress is clearly depicted with the letters “…GANSET…LSS” on his sweater. The Coston signal is clearly visible slung over his shoulder. Excellent b/w view for framing. The obverse contains an article by Gustav Kobbe entitled The Life-Saving Patrol, touching on the lonely but heroic lot of the life-savers. Full issue, clean, intact. (VG). $64.
