Thanks Bill, glad you liked it - I've been looking at that photo for I don't know how many years and I still notice stuff I hadn't thought of - probably the single most important photo in striped bass fishing, historically speaking...
There's only one photo more important and it hasn't been seen in over one hundred years - and I'm hot on the trail... 
Anyway way, I do have several bass stand photos - the one you'd probably like is the side view of the JP Morgan's Graves Pt clubhouse, taken around 1890 showing both stands - forgot I even had it until my wife unearthed it -
Also have a couple of others - one of the GP SE stand, and another from a postcard around 1912 showing a man in suit and tie holding up a respectable bass by the stand that was right next to GP -
and another illustration done by one of the Vanderbilts showing the gaffer walking out on the SE GP stand from an old Newport book -
I'll muck around in the hard drive here and post 'em for ya in a while - they're also matted, 5x7's on an 8x10 - |

Hi Bill - I was working over the weekend and needed to check first to see what was left on the GP clubhouse photo -
Got 2 left that are matted and custom framed, were $70 plus tax, now $40 even.
Also have 1 left that is the matted only version of the same photo (single matted) - it was $35 plus tax, now $20 even.
The image is below, also shown is a sample of the frame stock for one of the framed ones, dark walnut, one of the nicer ones I used for smaller prints - the other is in a wide black frame that looks like egg and dart molding - no pix of that frame style -
Add $5 for shipping - thanks -  |

My other question is, where was the bass club located on Ocean Drive?
Anybody know? I am going to get a aerial shot of that point.
Bill

Denton prints are no longer available -
Still have a few of the historic striped bass photographs left - some framed, some matted only -
Thanks to JohnR and S-B - |
