The inventory list created for this portion of the collection (most likely produced by the Baltimore City Life Museum staff) has this photograph as being the work of A. Aubrey Bodine. Considering this photograph is a glass negative, it was more than likely produced in the early 1900s. This conflicts with Bodine’s birth year of 1906 so I could not say with absolute certainty quite yet who shot this photograph.
