Silver gelatin photograph, 9.75 x 57.75 in. (sight), framed, 12.5 x 60.5 in. Titled in the negative, "Canton, Ohio - Fire Department - Oct. 2, 1913," and copyrighted 1913 lower right in negative by the Miller Studio, Cleveland, OH. An exceptional panoramic photograph showing members of the Canton Fire Department proudly posed on or bedside the department's horse-drawn fire engines and carts as well as a larger, more modern fire engine, in addition to a number of vehicles identified to the "C.F.D." The station dog can be seen posed atop one of the vehicles. The department and its firefighting apparatus cover what appears to be more than a city block in Canton, and several businesses from insurance companies to bankers, boot shops, and 5 and 10 cent stores are visible in the background, as well as city street cars. Condition: Some light toning to print. Otherwise in very fine condition. Not examined outside of frame.
