2725. (souvenir photo) Sankaty Head Lighthouse, Nantucket, Mass. c.1890. Unusual Victorian photo was probably once the cover for a Victorian booklet or album. Early circular photo shows a good view of Sankaty Head Lighthouse and keeper’s house and measures 3 3/8” in diameter. Photo is mounted on a 4” x 6 ½” decorative stock that has two punched holes, indicating that it was probably once bound with string or ribbon. It is a lovely piece but has become so brittle with age that it has numerous cracks. It has been mounted to card stock to keep it together but is still quite presentable. Without the damage this would be a $200 piece. Would look striking framed. (G). $78.
