Photographing the solar eclipse, May 28, 1900

Though unlabeled, this photo may be a scene from May 28, 1900, when Natural Science Professor Charles F. Himes (Class of 1855; standing behind the gentleman wearing a hat and operating the larger camera), travelled with his wife Mary, and his two daughters, Mary and Anna, to Virginia Beach to observe a solar eclipse. The man operating the camera might be Dr. Kennelly of the American Institute of Electrical Engineering, who travelled with them.
