A young woman in plain dress, labeled here as an Amish girl, is the subject of this halftone reproduction of a drawing by G.W. Peters. It was printed in the November 1901 issue of a magazine, in an article titled "Among the Dunkers" on pages 513 to 528. The halftone process broke the image into tiny dots so that hand drawings could be printed alongside type, which was how illustrated magazines of the period reproduced artwork. The Dunkers, now known as the Church of the Brethren, are a separate group from the Amish, so the article title and the caption describe related but different communities.
