This is a true piece of American History.  Offered is an original cabinet photo of Harry C. Morse with his unusual fish catch.  On August 27, 1873 Harry and his mother were on a boat fishing.  When Harry leaned over the edge of the boat, the trout pictured leaped from the water and bit him on the nose!  harry's mother beat the fish to death with an ore and the story gained world wide notoriety.  The photo is recorded with the Library of Congress.  Also has the original story on the back.  Photo has some glue residue to the reverse and a crease running the width of the photo.  What a great piece!
