Old Sawmill Pictures from 1888

[LarryEA]

I have a small booklet titled Lumbering in Michigan.
These 'lithograph or pictures are from the year of 1888
It is 3 1/2" X 5" and has 12 pictures.
Just wanted to post for all to see.



One says CHOPPING   the other says The Log Sled

and has written Copyright 1888 bt A. Witteman 59 & 60 Reade St. N.Y.
The Albertype Co. N.Y.

 

One says  "Ready For Dinner

The other says

Alexander Mcphail, a Canadian, cuts his imprisoned leg with a jack knife
to save himself from the wolves. Chippewa River, Wis. in the spring of 1888

If someone makes a pattern from any of these, I want a copy!

Enjoy...I'll post more later

Very interesting Larry. No chainsaws in those days, just hours of hard graft, blistered hands and sore backs.          .

Larry you need to get close ups and single pictures for patterns to be made.(  Do it right first time ) haa haa  . looking forward to seeing the close ups. Roly

Roly, I will try to get someone who has a better camera to take closeups.

If I get closer, the pictures are blurry.

Closeups would be so much nicer.
