Description: This is one of many great vintage & antique items I'm currently listing from various estates. Please take a look at my other merchandise at your leisure.You are bidding on: Historic Photograph Humorous Montage of Mechanic Street in Winter Carthage, New York ~ c1900s-1910s ~ This rare 5x7 inch image was photographed at Carthage NY in the 1900s-1910s by the documentary photographer Henry M. Beach and then manipulated to include huge snowbanks and people before shooting another glass plate negative of the entire scene. Please note this contact print was made in the early 1960s - some 50 years after the image was created. The now 110-year-old original glass plate negative could now be lost or broken or further degraded. If a real photo postcard still exists of this same scene - it would have been cropped to fit a postcard view. So - this print could be the only surviving, full-sized 5x7 image of this particular historical place and time. Henry M. Beach (1863-1943), famous for his postcard views, was a prolific and accomplished photographer from upstate New York who documented NY's North Country during the first quarter of the twentieth century. His most prolific era was from 1907-1917. Images I'm listing from this collection of over 300 Henry Beach photographs are primarily focused on individual towns and resorts. These 60s era prints were created by a New York collector of Beach's glass plate negatives from his personal collection and only one or two prints of each subject were ever made. **Multiple photos purchased at same time ship for the price of one** Print Measures 5 x 7 Inches. Print In Very Good Condition: Please Examine Scans. Shows Some Edge Wear & Possible Corner Creases. Please see photos for further details Thanks for Looking and Good Luck BiddingSW4JC
