Spencer Bay Club, Moosehead Lake, Maine A14-C
A view from the shore at the Spencer Bay Club across Moosehead Lake of the sun setting behind distant mountains. A deciduous and pine tree in the foreground are backlit against the bright sky. Spencer Bay, the location of several sporting camps by the mid-20th century, is a major eastern arm of Moosehead Lake, known for its pristine remotenes, beauty, and recreational appeal - particularly fishing. The image shows cracking, due to emulsion shrinkage on the negative's acetate. A note on the negative sleeve reads: "Original owned by Amory Houghton, Spencer Bay Club, Moosehead Lake, Greenville, Maine Winter address: Belfast, Maine"
