The Big Catch

Description

  • Photograph of a local fisherman holding the tail of a very large fish.
  • Message on the back reads: "One of the fish that is caught here. This was taken when Sanson was here as you will see by the photo I was standing to one side but with it all, there is no home like the old home no friends like the old friends so you may be sure I will be turning up some day if not this summer next. With best wishes, Will. Jubal."
