Condition B+: repaired tears and overpainting in margins affecting image; restored losses in top left corner.
A red, yellow, green, blue and brown depiction of the famous New England island. The railroad actually delivered passengers to Woods Hole, from whence a ferry delivered the travellers to the island itself. The enormous masthead that bisects the image is a romanticized reminder of the whaling ships which populate the island's history; lettering in brown.
