2656. (hand-colored photo) Gay Head Lighthouse, Martha’s Vineyard by David Davidson c.1910-1920. David Davidson (1881-1967) was the founder of the Davidson Photographic Studios in Providence RI. Davidson went on to become one of the national leaders in hand-colored photography – his business ranked #2 in total overall sales of hand-colored photographs, with only Wallace Nutting selling more pictures than him. Working most of his career in Providence RI, most Davidson pictures were taken in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and New England with a limited number were taken in the Western United States and Canada. This rare circa 1910-20 David Davidson hand-colored photo shows the colorful clay seaside cliffs with Gay Head Lighthouse on the bluff. Photo measures 7 ½” x 9 ½” in 14” x 17 original mat and frame. Signed “Gay Head Light – David Davidson”. Very nice bright color, clean on bright mat and original paper-backed frame.
