12510i. (photo) Nauset Beach “Three Sisters” Lighthouses, Eastham, Mass. c.1900. This rare photo features a close image of one of the three light towers as Keeper Lewis removes exterior sun shades from the lantern room lites. The storm porches were added in 1895 and the three lights moved in 1911, thus dating this photo within that period. Keeper Lewis served at Nauset Lights from 1883 until 1914 and was serving there when this photo was taken. Photo is a cyanotype (blue) and measures 2 ” x 3 ”. Clean, clear, but lacking a bit of contrast. The first view that I have ever seen showing the keeper adjusting the sun shades. Rare early view. (VG). $58.
