27392. (cabinet photo) Seaman, U. S. Revenue Cutter Oliver Wolcott c.1890 by New Photo Gallery, Port Townsend, Washington Territory. Rare early albumen portrait photograph shows a seaman of the U. S. Revenue Cutter Oliver Wolcott. On his cap, the name “Wolcott” can be read on the tally. The “U.S.R.C. Oliver Wolcott” was a well-known early steam-driven cutter employed in patrolling arctic waters and the suppression of smuggling after the purchase of Alaska in 1867. Condition is very good, with only light wear and a hint of soiling. There is an very minor bump to the extreme upper left corner of the mount and a tiny and inconsequential surface rub at the arm.
