Description:

Photograph of the sidewalk on South Battery, possibly in front of the Nathaniel Russell Middleton House (22 South Battery). View is looking east toward East Battery with White Point Garden on the right. Note the fire hydrant. Paine appears to be experimenting not only with his photography but its development as his notations on reverse reflect, "3 Lamps. 30 sec F32 Large Room - 3 Lamps 12 sec. F22 small light room - 4 Lamps. 3 close up and 1 at Back Light room F22 - 14 secs."
