View 3 c1900 Maine Wooden Canoe Stereoviews Lake Camp Boating Antique Photos with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. A wonderful close view of awooden canoe alongside a rustic waterfront camp or boathouse, with a person seated in the canoe and another boat at the landing. These three matching stereoviews wereacquired together from a Maine estate along with other Maine photographs. Group of three original circa 1900 stereoview photographs showing wooden canoes, canoeists and a rustic lakeside camp, probably in Maine. These three matching stereoviews were acquired together from a Maine estate along with other Maine photographs . The exact location and photographer are unidentified, so I have described the location as probably Maine rather than making a definitive attribution. The three photographs appear to document the same recreational outing or lakeside setting and include: A wonderful close view of a wooden canoe alongside a rustic waterfront camp or boathouse , with a person seated in the canoe and another boat at the landing. Two people standing at the shoreline with several wooden canoes or small boats around them. An especially attractive open-water scene showing two people underway in a wooden canoe , with distant shoreline and excellent detail in the water. The matching dark mounts, photographic style, clothing and canoe forms suggest an approximate date of c.1895–1910 , probably around 1900. These appear to be amateur or privately produced stereographs rather than mass-produced commercial views . There are no photographer or publisher imprints on the cards. Pencil numbers and other notations on the backs appear to be later collector or inventory markings. Condition: Overall very good antique condition. The photographs retain good to excellent detail and contrast, particularly the canoe and water scenes. There is expected age-related toning and minor surface, edge and corner wear. Some photographic fading is present, particularly in lighter portions of the images. Backs have later pencil notations. Please examine all photographs for condition. A particularly appealing group for collectors of antique wooden canoes, Maine sporting history, early recreational boating, lake camps, vernacular photography and stereoviews . The three have remained together and are being offered as one group . Condition: Used. Category: Collectibles › Photographic Images › Stereoviews & Stereoscopes.
