Description

The Edwin C. Jellett Series of Scrapbooks, Volume 9 -The Wissahickon Page 121 contains a photograph with a typed caption that reads: "At Ambler, 1908. Photograph by J. C. Bartholomew." The photograph shows the Wissahickon creek in the foreground. In the mid-foreground (center) is an "object" of undetermined origin, partially submerged in the creek bed. Magnification alone does not assist in determining the exact nature of the object. In the right distance, above the creek bed, are seen several "low" buildings with open planking for walls - likely some types of farm/commercial buildings.
