5762 | Lady at Cape Ann |
|
|
|
|
| Henry Rand and friends often visited Cape Ann for enjoyment and on photography expeditions. The lady is unknown to archivists, and the location was too, as Rand's notes would have appeared in the one log book that never came to the library. Photographs near this one in Rand's albums led them to wonder if it could have been taken on Cape Ann. An appeal to library board member and geologist, Duane Braun, following his assurance that he doubted it could have been taken on Mount Desert, brought the most logical answer. "Yes, Cape Ann is a somewhat lower relief geologic equivalent of MDI. It has similar granitic rock and geo history to that on MDI. Geo talks I've attended about Cape Ann show a lot of low to moderate relief granite shoreline. So this "geologically" supports that the picture was taken there." Until a descendant of the unknown lady recognizes her and identifies the photograph as having been taken elsewhere, she is the Lady at Cape Ann. | Description: Henry Rand and friends often visited Cape Ann for enjoyment and on photography expeditions.
