    Description

    RARE antique PHOTOGRAPH of PORTLAND'S LATE FIRE CHIEF DAVID CAMPBELL, "who lost his life in the discharge of his duty, June 26, 1911"; Pacific States FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY. This was issued as a calendar, but the pages are missing; the back is stiff cardboard which has warped at the top, and measures 10.25x20 inches; the photo itself measures roughly 6.5x8.5 inches. VERY RARE ITEM - I can't find any others online to compare it to, and none listed on completed-auction websites. Would have been issued soon after his death in 1911 or 1912.
    Condition is Good (large corner chip, smaller corner chip, heavy warp at top area, scuffs and marks to photo, heavy wrinkle from top edge which could soon crack, wrinkle at left edge, edge rubbing; could be framed with a mat that has large diagonal corners, so as to hide the chipped ones).
