I recently had the opportunity of purchasing several photographs from an antique dealer in Missouri. Showing a early deed for pew No.22 of the 3rd Baptist Church of Jefferson, Maine. Usual folds and light blemishes. Showing a power of Attorney document concerning H.J. Fredricks of Augusta stating that Peter Dunton of Jefferson is his lawful attorney. Signed and sealed at Fredricks signature 21st of Nov. 1888.
Light blemishes folds and left edge rough.
Signatures are light but can be read. A friend of authors and artists of his time, his Memoirs published the year of his death provide a valuable insight into the literary and artistic world of Victorian England. His name was originally Watts, but he added the Dunton later in life in memory of his mother. This image is of a handwritten letter, pre-1897 when he added the Dunton, asking the recipient to acknowledge the receipt of something, undoubtedly a manuscript. Please refer to the article in the Dunton Times, Volume IV, Issue 3 .
