11125. (photo) Lighthouse Keeper Poses With His Family c.1890. Great detail in this rare early image. The keeper stands against a stone wall in the foreground with his wife, and child holding her doll. Beside them stands a young man holding his bicycle. Behind them can be seen the keeper’s well kept home. The keeper’s hat insignia and a few buttons can be clearly seen. Believe this to be a southern New England lighthouse keeper. Photo is large, measuring 7” x 10” and is in original 12 ½” x 15 ½” oak frame. Photo was re-matted in the 1990’s with a double mat. Unusually large, rare early image. Very light foxing. (VG). $225. Reduced $175.
