18953633601895. Five views of Lake Worth Beach and Palm Beach in 1895.<br /> <br /> The images are:<br /> <br /> 1 Ferry at Lake Worth with the Royal Poinciana Hotel in the distance. Captioned in the negative "L.W.B. 9.14.95";<br /> 2 Lake Worth with the Royal Poinciana Hotel in the distance. Captioned in the negative "L.W.B. 9.24.95";<br /> 3 View of Lake Worth with a pier in the foreground possibly taken from a boat. Captioned in the negative "L.W.B. 10.9.95";<br /> 4 Sail boat in front of the Royal Poinciana captioned in the negative "Lake Worth" two versions with different exposure times<br /> 5 View of the Palm Beach Inn later renamed The Breakers under construction with the Royal Poinciana in the background not dated but the hotel opened in December 1895.<br /> <br /> The negatives these views were printed from are of somewhat unusual size measuring roughly 4-3/4 by 7-3/4 inches. All but one view have a horizontal orientation. Given that this size does not seem to conform to the standard halfplate negative usually 5-1/2 to 6-1/2 inches in the long direction one might speculate that the photographer made their own camera. The photographs are handcut with somewhat uneven edges and of varying finished sizes all roughly 5 by 8 inches. They are generally very good or better with some toning and spotting.
