746. (glass plate negative) Pacific Coast Life-Saving Station.
- (glass plate negative) Pacific Coast Life-Saving Station. Superb b/w view on original glass plate negative shows the interior of a turn of the Century boathouse. Crisp, clear 5” x 7”. View shows a surfman posing in front of surfboat beside faking box and life buoy. Hanging from the ceiling can be seen a metallic life-car. On the interior walls can just be seen a number of signs, one of which reads “San Francisco”. From details of the exterior trim and ramp visible, this might be a “Witch’s Hat type” station, such as those in use at Point Reyes and a number of other areas on the Pacific Coast. Slight line from crack in negative doesn’t detract from this clear, detailed view. Will make fabulous prints. (F-). $145.
