"Practically every town in Victorian America boasted a photography studio. The proprietor, whether he knew it or not, was an early chronicler of family life. Newborns, graduates, brides, grooms, and entire families posed for the camera – alongside wicker props. Ornate wicker furniture made its debut in photography studios during the 1870s. Light, airy and noticeably three-dimensional in photographs, wicker props made greater headway in studios during the 1880s and early 1900s. Because it was so inexpensive and easy to store, photographers and the public took wicker to their hearts. In fact, fancy wicker pieces became known as “photographer’s chairs.” Wicker’s popularity in studios created a new market; Heywood Brothers and Wakefield Company featured in their 1898 catalogue an extremely ornate five-legged “posing chair” specifically designed as a photographer’s prop." - "Collector’s Guide to American Wicker Furniture," by Richard Saunders, published by Hearst Books, New York, 1983, p. 43. The following pages contain photographs showing various ornate wicker chairs that were used by photographers. The chair shown in this photograph appears on pages 47 and 57. The same chair, obviously used by Southwest Harbor photographer. J.C. Ralph, appears in other photographs in the library collection.

14068Berzinis - Jeffrey Peter Berzinis (1944-)
  • Reference
  • People
Jeffrey Peter Berzinis (1944-) was born on December 4, 1944 to Peter Berzinis Jr. and Anne F. (Lukauskas) Berzinis in Boston, Massachusetts. Jeff grew up on Braintree Avenue in Quincy, Massachusetts, a block from the water. He became a sheetmetal worker, coming by the profession honestly as his father worked in auto body repair and his mother, a nurse, worked as a welder at the end of WWII. He married Audrey Jane, the daughter of Georgia Isabelle (Anderson) Bevan Gray of Verona Island, Maine. Jeff and Audrey settled in Penobscot, Maine in 1970. In 1973, Audrey and Jeff Berzinis and Bonnie and Tom Sawyer purchased the Southwest Boat Corporation yard and renamed it Southwest Boat Marine Services. It was in complete disrepair. While this reconstruction was going on, many times people would stop by and reminisce about the "good old days." New pilings, piers, buildings and more parking were added. In 1998, the Sawyers' opted out and the yard continues today [2012] with the Berzinis.
