12182b. (mounted view) The Old Mill, Nantucket c.1890’s possibly by Harry Platt. Early view shows a lovely early view of the old mill and crossroads. The third of the 19th century trio of outstanding Nantucket photographers was Harry Platt, a native of Georgia, who came to Nantucket in the late 1880’s. He opened a shop on Centre Street, and his photographs rivaled Wyer’s in their excellent composition. He took many scenes about the town and along the wharves, and also made portraits of individuals as “tin-types.” Rare scene measures 3 ¼” x 3 ¼” on 6” x 6” mount. Clean, clear, one chip to lower corner of image. (VG+). $28.
