Description:

The following item depicts three photographs capturing the left hand side view of the yard outside the McClintock family 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 background of the frame, positioned in the right third of the photograph with shrubbery and stone design in the left hand side of the frame. An open air porch can be seen in the center of the frame, offset to the left of the structure, with two glass panes on the left-hand side wall. The photograph is black and white. 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.
