The title, "Hackel - Berge," is German, with "Berge" meaning mountains, so the picture may show a range or peak, or a place or person named Hackel. The record does not confirm which. The Bain News Service, a New York photo agency founded by George Grantham Bain around 1899, supplied news pictures to newspapers, and its glass negatives were often labeled quickly. Because the title is unverified and no date is given, the exact subject and origin remain uncertain. The collection as a whole shows the agency's broad coverage of people, places and events in the early twentieth century.
