Foote, Lowell, Mass","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe grouping comprises four antique board-mounted photographs taken at York Beach, Maine, in August 1892, each inscribed on the verso to Helen C. Pender and attributed to Ralph H. Foote of Lowell, Massachusetts. One photograph depicts a double-decker horse-drawn omnibus viewed broadside, with a group of passengers seated along the open upper deck and a brass band with instruments visible through the openings of the enclosed lower level. A second photograph shows a four-horse team drawing a large open wagon carrying a group of passengers with parasols, photographed on an open sandy ground. A third photograph is inscribed on the recto \"Snap Shot - Coasting Parade \/ Long Sands York Beach\" and depicts a line of women in summer dress with elaborately decorated hats, a horse-drawn float behind them and a man mounted on horseback at right; this image and two others carry a notation — on the recto or verso — reading \"Film 'hazed' over by heat in developing,\" accounting for the soft and milky quality of the affected prints. The fourth photograph shows Hotel Bartlett, a large Victorian seaside hotel complex with a central observation tower, multiple gabled rooflines, American flags flying from poles in front, and a windmill-style water tower at right. The verso of the parade photograph additionally identifies subjects as Helen Pender (Boynton), Sadie Parsons (Morris), and a party from Springfield. Photographed by Ralph H. Foote, Lowell, Massachusetts. Mounts are cream.
