Maplewood Lodge in Smithville Flats, New York, stands out in this collection for its hunting dogs, which the record lists alongside the hotel itself. The jacket title credits George Finnigan with the scene, and the negative is an 8 by 10 inch glass plate made around 1902 by the Detroit Publishing Company. The firm traveled widely to photograph resorts, hotels, and scenic places, selling the views to tourists and publishers, so the picture shows how a rural sporting lodge was presented to the public in the early 1900s.
