Lebanon: C.E. Lewis, 1887. Albumen photographs measuring 7 ¾ x 4 ½ on larger mounts. Some marks and scuffs to mounts, some writing to versos, images with excellent contrast and some light foxing, very good overall. Very Good.

According to a contemporary article in the New York Times, six hundred people were left unemployed and sixty-five were left homeless. These five images by the Lebanon photographer C.E. Lewis capture the aftermath of the fire, and show the extent of the destruction. We find little record of the photographer, C.E. Lewis, but according to the records of the National Stereoscopic Association he lost his studio in the fire as well. We only find records of three of these images at the New Hampshire Historical Society.
