"Red Ink" photo, series by same photographer named for red ink used for writing descriptions on reverse side of similarly-mounted images. Location uncertain. This photo was entered in The John Wanamaker Exhibition of Photographs by Amateurs, February 1908. Same as P08012A, except more tightly cropped and with a border.
The caption for this photo, printed in the Philadelphia Inquirer on April 25, 1906, reads: "Wrecked Safe in Media Post Office: Yeggmen set off a charge that demolished the outer part of the receptacle last night. The inner lining was intact. The robbers were scared away when two young women residing nearby screamed after being awakened by the explosion." A yegg or yeggman is slang for a burglar, particularly for one who breaks open safes. Label on safe reads: Manuf'd by Farrel & Co., Philad'a.
See description at AP-8356. A bottle on a ledge by the safe, somehow unbroken after the explosion, bears this label: Pomeroy's Combined Writing & Copying Fluid. Flows Freely, Will Not Mould. Newark, N.J. One letter sits on the floor in front of the safe.
Henry Pearson, in Middletown Township, Delaware County, Pa. (295), writes that the Pratt/Crooks house stood opposite Cumberland Cemetery on Middletown Road (Route 352).
This may have been taken for a legal case related to the condition of the road, perhaps related to the ditch or drainage that seems to be the focus of this series of pictures, AP-8229-8231.

Panoramic photograph showing large crowd gathered at the Baldwin Locomotive Works. Thanks to Ryan J. Lynch for identifying the photograph, and dating it based on several other buildings in the scene. Original photo was rolled and broke into several sections when unrolled. These pieces were scanned individually and reassembled using Adobe Photoshop.
The title and date are from Frank Lee's writing on envelope. The original photograph had no identification on reverse other than an indication of the lens or film used, and a notation: "Taken against the sun." Address is approximate. Probably Dr. William T. W. Dickeson photograph.
Appleton's index entry, used as the title, leaves it unclear who (in this photograph of a man, horse, and horse-drawn vehicle, in a farm setting) is Charles, who is Dick, and if Cutter is a family name.
In the old vernacular, a pond and a dam were synonymous. Palmer's Dam was located on Ridley Creek just north of Baltimore Pike, upstream of the Media Water Works. Copy of original photo; source not noted. For Media Coal & Ice Company ad in Centennial Book 85. Negative damaged. See also P-01189.
