Print of Nantucket Daydreams, by Henry S. Wyer, Nantucket, circa 1900
About the Item
Antique Print of Nantucket Daydreams, by Henry S. Wyer, Nantucket, circa 1900, a period print depicting a gentleman in overstuffed wing chair by the hearth, a copy of Nantucket's "Inquirer and Mirror" open on lap, smoking a cigar and leaning back lost in thought: in the curls of smoke are simple sketches of many iconic Nantucket landmarks and views. Flanking the fireplace in place of tiles are a series of miniature copies of eight of H.S. Wyer's photographs. This is one of the rarest of antique Nantucket prints.
The print remains in excellent, unblemished condition, mounted in a period, likely original gilded frame.
Henry Sherman Wyer (1847 - 1920) was one of Nantucket's most important early photographers, active in the 1890s to 1910s. In addition to the photos he at his shop on Main Street, he was also noted for his bound albums, postcards, and a number of classic books collecting Nantucket history and anecdotes.
