I was very pleased when this photo came yesterday of the famous Ward Brothers rowing family. I phoned a dealer from Massachusetts I usually see at the National and asked if he had anything for sale...He told me about this photo...I basically knew who the Ward Brothers were but started looking into them closer after he offered it to me. Once I got a good look at the image it had me...I feel like I got an important part of American rowing history. can not find another example. It's one of the classiest photos I own. It's just the way I like to get a photo...untouched from the 19th century....square nails in the back of frame and wavy glass! Image is high quality crisp and clear.
