Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds.
A poorly-exposed photograph of H. H. West posing in front of a set of steps leading up to Burial Hill in Plymouth. H. H. West stands at center. He faces slightly left, but looks to camera as he poses. Behind him, a wrought-iron gate stands partially open. The left half of the gate stands closed. A tablet is affixed to it. The right gate appears to be open. Behind the open half of the gate, a set of six stairs ascend up towards the cemetery grounds. Trees are visible in the background. A thick, white haze clouds over the image.
