The caption "Drying leaves" points to the Matilda Ziegler Magazine for the Blind, a periodical printed in raised type so that blind readers could follow it by touch. Freshly embossed pages would have needed time to dry, so the scene likely shows part of that production work. The Bain News Service, a New York photo agency, made and filed the negative, and the Library of Congress now holds it in the George Grantham Bain Collection. The record gives no date, and the title comes from the agency's own notes, so the exact moment it shows remains uncertain.
