Negative, Glass-plate

Monochromatic glass-plate negative from the studio of Louis James Pesha depicting the starboard side of the Acme Transit Company freighter J.M. JENKS, under steam. A figure stands at the bow, and another near the aft cabin. A tree-lined shoreline is visible in the background. "45-63," was handwritten on the non-archival envelope which previously held the plate.
