Dorothy Tucker (1899-1986) would appear to be less than one year old in this photograph, believed to have been taken at her family’s summer vacation camp at Point O’ Woods on Long Island Sound. Writing anonymously in the June, 1903 issue of The American Amateur Photographer magazine illustrated by his own photographs, C.R. Tucker wrote the following thoughts as part of his article: “Our Summer Home By The Sea”: …“we have no doubt whatever that for us the most beneficial summer home has been Point o’Woods, the growth of which we have watched since July, 1894, when the bulk of the visitors were sheltered in tents on the dunes, till this year there are some seventy cottages”…

Charles Rollins Tucker, 1868-1956.
