The Old Mill in West Bridgewater Massachusetts

The Old Mill in West Bridgewater Massachusetts

This is a variant, with orientation reversed, of a bucolic waterscape study of an old mill by the artist published in the June, 1906 issue of the Photo-Era. At the time, Tucker was a member of The Postal Photographic Club of the United States. The location of the photo is the Old Mill on Crescent Street in West Bridgewater, MA. A later photograph of this mill, now believed lost and taken around 1915, can be seen here.

Charles Rollins Tucker, 1868-1956.
