2747. (hand colored photograph) Portland Head Lighthouse, Portland, Maine . c.1910-1920. Beautiful hand colored photograph taken from the south, on original mat shows a wonderful clear view of the distinctive light tower, keeper’s house and fog signal, with the rocky landscape in the foreground. The mat is signed David Davidson, a notable artist of the time. Superb detail, clear, crisp, just a hint of soiling. A fine early image, beautifully hand colored. The image measures 3” x 4 ½” on a 8” x 10”period mat. The mat is soiled and darkened from age. Rematting and framing will make this a superb display piece. (VG-). $48.
