Description:
The following item depicts a photograph capturing the rear view of the McClintock family home. This particular picture displays the Caretaker’s house, an attached building to the remainder of the home. The house is a two story white clapboard home with stucco accents and three chimneys displayed along the two buildings. The house sits in the right, third of the photograph and moves into the background. In the left hand third of the photograph, and its foreground, a great lawn and driveway can be seen.
The photograph has an accompanying note that names the building the Caretaker’s home. The picture is taken from what looks to be a porch structure, with the ceiling framing the scene in a black shadow.
The photograph has been attributed the “House of Wendy Hams, Bear Lake,” from its connection to other photographs of the same house, in similar styles, where the location and Wendy Hams appear on accompanying slips of paper, such as item (1.73b).
Gilbert Stuart McClintock is supposed to be the creator of the photograph as he has other photographs that he sold in auctions within the collection, item (1.60) “A Photograph of the “[Basilica] Santa Maria della Salute,” taken by Gilbert Stuart McClintock, [ca. Mid-twentieth century]. (removed to Oversized Box #1)”, as well as another photo album of their house, item (1.59), which collects frames of the house in a similar documentary style.
