Negative, Glass-plate

Monochromatic glass-plate negative from the studio of Louis James Pesha depicting the bow and starboard side of the Acme Transit Company freighter EDWIN F. HOLMES, under steam. Two figures are on the flying bridge. A woman in a large hat and another figure stand below near the bow, and a small group is gathered near the aft cabin. A tree-lined shoreline is visible in the background. "1999," and "Loaded," were handwritten on the non-archival envelopes which previously held the plate.
