Description

Portrait of Isaac Damon (1843-1930). A long-lived Wayland resident, who--like his father Jude Damon and his uncle, Thomas Jefferson Damon--was well-known for his outstanding skill as a farmer. He was related by marriage to Wallace Folsom, whose portrait of him at his home on Old Sudbury Road fills the frame, and shows him in what seems to be his Sunday best.
