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.

Copy of an original portrait (either a photograph, drawing, or engraving); the original is signed E. J. Willcox, 1889. David Ashbridge Vernon was one of the founders of the Delaware County American. He died in 1888.
Probably a relative (aunt?) of Deborah Thatcher Haddock Appleton, wife of photographer. Possibly in Appleton home, as this is the same wallpaper and table as in AP-4017
