Ferns fill the foreground of this view at Deer Park, a mountain resort in western Maryland's Garrett County that the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad promoted as a cool summer retreat. The Detroit Publishing Company, a commercial firm known for its scenic views of American places, issued the print in the years between 1898 and 1914, when travel photography and railroad tourism were popular. The fern-covered ground suggests the woodland walks that drew visitors to the area, and the picture offers a glimpse of how resorts sold the outdoors as a leisure destination. Because the caption data is unverified, the exact date and location details should be read with some caution.
