This is an authentic 106-year-old print of a drawing by the talented Michigan illustrator FLETCHER C. RANSOM (1870-1943). It is offered here as a print on Page 483 in Volume 5 from SCRIBNER'S POPULAR HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES, a book that was published in New York by Charles Scribner & Sons in 1897.

It measures approximately 4.25 x 2.75 inches on a page measuring approximately 5.75 x 8.85 inches, so there is room for a mat.

The two-line caption reads: Life-Saving Crew and Station at Jones Beach, L.I., showing a McClellan Gun. [Drawn by F.C. Ransom from a photograph hitherto unpublished.]

The print depicts seven members of the crew posing outside the lifesaving station at Jones Beach, Long Island, New York. The McClellan Gun is to the left.

Condition: Problem-free with very good to fine details and normal, light age toning.
