27369. [glass plate negative] Minot’s Ledge Lighthouse, Cohasset, Mass. c.1900. Superb 5” x 7” glass plate negative provides a great close view of the tall masonry lighthouse on Minot’s Ledge near the entrance to Boston Harbor. In 1855 work began on this famous granite structure to replace the iron pile structure that was destroyed in the great gale of 1851. The lantern and second-order Fresnel lens were put into place, and the lighthouse was illuminated on November 15, 1860 and the structure has lasted through countless storms since. . Because of the large size of the negative, this is an extremely detailed piece. Excellent early view is exceptionally clear and crisp and should print well. (VG). $138.
