2584b. THE LIFE-SAVING SERVICE. Frank Leslie’s Illustrated Newspaper. January 25, 1873. Detailed and interesting half-page article contains two beautiful engravings of the Life-Saving Service from the Seabright, New Jersey station in action. A wonderfully detailed half-page engraving depicts the surfmen, with the aid of horses, pulling their lifeboat along the beach toward the distress flares from a wreck beyond. A second smaller engraving shows the surfboat and carriage in the small lifeboat station at Seabright , New Jersey . Full issue, overall clean, occasional light foxing or staining to bound edge. Very nice for framing. (VG). $48.
