Description
Sepia postcard from sample book of Herbert Berniss Thrasher (1884-1927), photographer. Titled: ‘In the Heart f the Dear Old Berkshire Hills. Lafayette LoOdge in Distance, Worthington, Mass. ‘. (#38). Thrasher was the son of George M. and Hattie Lyman Thrasher. Guy Thrasher was his brother. The sample book was produced during the 1920s when H. B. Thrasher was living and working in Florida. The images are undated but this one, given the Lafayette Lodge identification and the car, dates from after 1915.. Probably around 1918 or so. You can see the Casino attached to the rear of the large hotel in the background. The car, heading south, is on the "wrong" side of the road.
