Faint sepia-toned glossy photo of two firemen (one driving and the other riding) on a steam fire truck along a side street

Description:

Photograph (1 copy). Faint sepia-toned glossy photo of two firemen (one driving and the other riding) on a steam fire truck along a side street. Dark smoke is billowing from the top of the engine. It appears that the photo is a composite that was created by superimposing a cutout of the fire engine onto a second photo that shows a street with houses and yards in the background. Handwriting on the verso notes " 'Jumbo' fire truck used in Hartford, Conn., 1899."
