The caption names Pearl McGill, Elodre Coppens and W.E. Trautman and places the scene in Lowell, but the record does not say what brought them together. The image survives as a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied newspapers with news photographs in the early twentieth century. The title comes from unverified information written on the negative or its caption card, and no date is recorded. Glass plates of this size were a common format for press work of that period.
