Hey Rawn,

You are absolutely correct. I mis-spoke when I said "Union City".... Those two words just seem to go together. What I was trying to say is Union, Maine. I apologize for any headaches I may have caused by this

Also, you can see more of Henrys photos by searching "j. henry allen". I think the guy was quite talented!

Again, sorry...

I apologize for hijacking this thread, but I think this is the very type of thing this thread is talking about. All it takes is one post and you never know what you may find...

Here is a listing from google books in a almanac for "J. Henry Allen", perhaps it can help? Dated 1881-1882

I have also attached a link to a beautiful photo of a sailboat taken by Henry.

How refreshing to read a thread without any mention of elite collectors or seas of mediocrity or downgrading fellow colectors because they don't or can't collect only high grade material. That's what this board is supposed to be all about and reading the posts like the one from fellow long time collector Jim Hatch who I had many great swaps and deals with is truly great
To all you lurkers out there, especially those who collect cards for the love of it, don't ever hesitate to post or put your scans up in the pickup thread.

Really sharp photo.

It's been a while since I was in Union, Maine....and, cannot recall any "Rural House". Looks like a really
old photo, so the Rural House is most likely gone.

But, I do remember the annual Fair held in Union. A lot of nice folk, a lot of fun, and a lot of good food.
