Rockland Hunters 1897

Rockland Hunters - 1897 In this photo one can see three hunters and the numerous game birds they have shot strung in front of an up-ended pallet. Atop the pallet one can see a taxidermized squirrel to the left and what looks like a vacuum cleaner on the right, and on the window sill, a taxidermized owl. Also seen in this image are the hunter's shotguns and four hunting dogs. The hunter on the left appears to be Charles Coombs and as Coombs was a taxidermist, the stuffed squirrel and owl further suggests that it is Coombs. The man in the center is likely Charles Wilson. On the right is probably B. Thorndike. There is a reference to a Mahoney house in Lincolnville attached to LB2000.52.482 which is the same building as in this photo.
