Two Early Mounted Photographs of Woodstock, CT and Pamphlet W/ Inscribed Letter

Description

This lot consists of three items related to the town of Woodstock, Connecticut, two of which are photographs: (1) a 6 ¾” x 8 ¾” mounted photograph (the photo itself is 6” x 8”). Pencilled on the back is “Woodstock Valley, Conn.
Mrs. Mary Paine Phillips & Rebecca Walker in foreground.” As you can see, the mount is chipped, but the chipping does not extend into the photo, which is in very good condition; (2) The second photo measures 11” x 14” with mount and the photo itself is 7 ¾” x 9 ¾”.
As you can see from the provided image, there is damage to the mount, but the photo itself is in very good condition.
I love the image in front of woman with horse!
On the back is written in pencil “From Mrs. Kidder—Merry Xmas to Harold—‘Sky Farm.” I presume that this photo is also from Woodstock as it came in a lot with the previous photo along with the next item; (3) the third item is not a photo but rather a 23-page booklet measuring 6 ¾” x 8 ¼” written by Harriet Sampson and entitled “Samuel Sewall & the Town He Named Woodstock.” Inside the pamphlet is a signed letter by Harriet Sampson (Mrs. David Pitt) to a reviewer hoping that she will discuss her work in the next issue of “The League Bulletin.” The pamphlet is in fine or near mint shape.
A nice lot for the Woodstock historian.
