The caption, "After quail in our hunting automobile," points to a hunting party that drove to the field, with the game bagged and the car serving as both transport and trophy display. Around 1905 the automobile was still a novelty and a costly one, so an image that treats it as a working hunting vehicle reflects how quickly motoring was being folded into country sport. The picture is a stereograph copyrighted by T.W. Ingersoll and numbered 3320. Such cards were sold for viewing through a stereoscope, which gave flat photographs a sense of depth. The date and caption come from an old caption card and have not been independently verified.
