Note: This negative is in the Cumberland County Historical Society's A. A. Line Collection, which contains images either taken or collected by Line. At some point, either during Line's lifetime or later, images from other photographers, including apparently Everett Strong, were integrated into the Line Collection without appropriate attribution. This image is similar to those attributed to Strong. Therefore at this time we cannot be sure which photographer was responsible for the image.
