A bank robbery at Sandy Springs is the subject named for this picture, with F.L. Thomas and Francis Miller listed as the people involved. The title comes from notes the National Photo Company wrote on the negative or its sleeve, and those notes are unverified, so the exact event and the men's roles remain uncertain. The date of about 1920 is an estimate based on other negatives in the same range, which places the plate in the years when the company was documenting scenes across the country. The 8 by 6 inch glass plate shows streaks and blemishes from the natural deterioration of its original coating, a common condition in negatives of this age.
