One of my favorite subjects. I believe the original of this image is a Bert Call photograph. It's in a 1912 copy of "In the Maine Woods" although it's unattributed. This publication was an annual tourist guide published by the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad. Call was a photographer working out of Dexter, Maine.
Anyhow, it looks like West Branch Penobscot to me. And given the date, I think it's a Gerrish canoe.
