Description |
Stereoview card. Photo taken from the vicinity of the Fourth NH Turnpike, looking down the lane running north of the Great Stone Selling leading from the Turnpike east toward the lake. Buildings visible from left to right include the Long Wood House, Laundry, Dentist's Office, garden barns, 1794 Dwelling House, and Great Stone Dwelling. This image is #9 in the Lewis numbered stereoview series. The card has rounded corners and orange paper on the front. The images have shallow arches on the top edges, and are straight on the remaining three sides. On the back a list of the images is glued to the card which reads "Photographic Views, / Shaker Village, / Enfield, N.H." then a list of the 19 views in the series and "C.E. Lewis, Photographer, / Lebanon, N.H." at the bottom. The back of the card is a buff color, but has likely faded from the original reddish color seen on other cards in this series. In blue pen at the bottom in Robert Leavitt's handwriting is written "Leavitt Collection." |
