I ask your indulgence for the poor quality of the photo in the graphic. In computing, there is a problem that sometimes arises in the process of "screening"an offset photo such as that above. In the case above, no amount of tweaking could remove that background "moire" which give the appearance of a fabric. It is due to the incompatibility of the number of dots per inch on a news photo as relates to the number of dots per inch scanned. I failed to find a happy medium. The hand drawn pumper in the photo was used by one of the Trenton volunteer fire companies prior to their 1892 changeover to a paid fire department.
