21519b. (souvenir plate) Nauset Light, Eastham, Mass. c.1900.

21519b. (souvenir plate) Nauset Light, Eastham, Mass. c.1900. This early piece is quite bright and handsome and enhanced by gilt trim and bright hand colored image. Bold plate features a detailed full color image of the center of the “three sisters” lighthouses and keeper’s house in Eastham. Before the advent of a lighthouse lens that could produce a flash, three lighthouses were utilized in Eastham to aid mariners in recognizing the location. The three light towers were replaced by a single cast iron light tower, moved up from Chatham, in 1923. The plate measures 5 7/8” in diameter. Marked “Bravaria”. Plate is clean, bright, no chips or cracks, just light wear to gilded edge. An unusually bright, bold piece for display. One of the best images I have yet found. (VG+). $188.
