3065. (cabinet photo) Negro (Curtis) Island Light Station, Camden, Maine c.1890. Extremely rare albumen photo by unknown photographer shows great detail of the well kept light station off Camden Harbor. Camden Harbor is finely locked in between two jutting points of land, one high, the other low, with a pretty little wooded island deftly dropped in at the entrance long known as Negro Island. The name of the island was changed to Curtis Island in 1934. Excellent view, fairly close and clear, only very light wear. It is extremely difficult to find such early views. Measures 5 ” x 7”. Clear and crisp. (VG+). $74.
