The caption on this glass negative reads "Peckinpaugh, NY," but the record notes that the title comes from unverified data on the negative or its caption card, so whether it names a place or a person is uncertain. It belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the body of work produced by Bain News Service, a New York picture agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early 1900s. Glass negatives like this one were the standard working medium of that era, and their modest size reflects how press pictures were made before flexible film took over. The record gives no date, so the exact moment the picture was taken remains unknown.
