Unusual antique framed hand-colored photograph of a snowy field with evergreens, early 20th century, signed "Homes 'The Studio,' Chocorua, NH. The photographer was William Homes, who produced hand colored nature photos around the same time as Wallace Nutting.
It is rare to find a hand colored photograph from this era depicting snow, and this one has excellent color and is crisp and clean. It measures 9 x 11 inches framed. The frame appears to be be original, and is in good shape for its age, but does have some crazing of the gilding, and a few small chips (see blue arrows), and well as scattered darker spots. The mat is an even beige color and mostly clean, but does have a few small lighter spots (see green arrows). New dust jacket on the back.
I have tried to find and describe any flaws, but please check the photos carefully.
