C.R. Tucker enjoyed landscape photography, and this view of a dirt road with river or pond at left and buildings obscured in background may have been taken on Staten Island, N.Y., a locale where farms and open space were the norm versus the heavy populated landscape it is in the 21st Century. This mounted print is from a series of photographs bearing the artists signature and date 1916 at lower right corner that are believed to be from earlier negatives ca. 1905-10. The uniformity of the brown cardstock mounts indicates they were intended as exhibition prints.

Charles Rollins Tucker, 1868-1956.
