**Location/Theme:** Newport, VT / Lake Memphremagog Region
Up for sale is a fantastic, cohesive lot of 4 original 19th-century flat stereoview cards captured by noted local Vermont photographer L.E. Thayer.
These are authentic period pieces, not modern reproductions. Perfect for collectors of Vermont history, steamboats, or early American photography.

1. "Memphremagog House & Boat" - Features the grand resort hotel and a historic steamboat "Lady Lake" on the water.
2. "Lake Memphremagog" - Scenic view of the lake shoreline.
3. "Summit Owl's Head Mountain" - Rugged, rocky landscape perspective of the famous peak.
4. "Newport, Vt. by Moon light" - Early day-for-night photographic view framing the local town and bridge.
**Condition:**
Antique, pre-owned condition. Photographic prints retain good contrast and clarity. Mounts show expected period wear, light toning, corner softness, and minor foxing/staining consistent with age. The "House & Boat" card has some paper lifting/scuffing along the top edge margin (does not impact the core photo images) it actually looks like the white lays on top of the photo and may possibly come off. Please review all photos carefully to evaluate condition.
**Shipping:** Ships securely flat in archival-safe sleeves and rigid cardboard packaging to prevent bending.
