21498f. (cabinet photo) North Scituate Life Saving Station and Crew by Otis Barker Photographer, Scituate c.1887. Wonderful rare early image of the early 1887 Bibb #2 Type life saving station on the beach at North Scituate, Massachusetts as the crew poses with the surfboat in front. Original albumen photo measures 5 ¼” x 8 ½”. This is an early view as the crew are without uniforms at this point in time. Note the life preservers hanging on the surfboat to dry. Image is clear and close, with some foxing to margins and one chip to mount above photo. Just a bit light. (VG). $275.
