Image Info

A moose and cow in a pasture in Stoneham. The moose was locally famous, named Joe Pete by warden William R. French, and lived in the area around Speckled Mountain near Lovell and Stoneham from 1934-1939. The moose would graze alongside the cows while hundreds of sightseers would come and look on.

George W. French, who took the picture, was staff photographer for the Maine Publicity Bureau from 1936-1955.

He took photos that would promote the natural beauty of Maine and encourage tourism.
