See William Morris Hunt on Wikepedia for a great deal of information about the artist. This photograph of his work titled: "Italian Girl" and "Roman Girl" was apparently obtained by the artist from the art studio of Celia Thaxter at the Appledore House Hotel on the Isles of Shoals, a group of nine islands off the coast of New Hampshire, 5 belonging to Maine and 4 belonging to New Hampshire. According to Wikipedia, Hunt and Thaxter were close friends and Thaxter also discovered Hunt's body after his suicide. Many of his works were destroyed by the Great Boston Fire of 1872.
This photograph is signed by Hunt on the front and there is a note on the back: "From Cilia Thaxter's Salon at Me. Isle of Shoals" Signed W. Morris Hunt.
Photo is on stiff board, 14" x 10.75 with the photo being 8" x 4". There is some age discoloration on the back and the front is very good.
