- According to Greenough,
- Stieglitz submitted this image to The Amateur Photographer’s “Travelling Studentship Competition,” as The Village Black. The journal notes: “all the negatives are un-retouched, and no cloud negatives are used. They have been taken with a Steinheil Aplanat. The plates used include Obernetter, Eosine, Schlensen, Perulz (eosine), and Lumiere. The developers have been pyro and soda and iron, and the whole of the prints have been produced in platinotype” (The Amateur Photographer 12 [18 July 1890], 41).
