Pug was considered a member of the Rand family and, as you can see, traveled with his own luggage. The photograph was possibly taken while traveling to Southampton on the Hamburg American Line's SS Furst Bismarck steamship. Archivists have been unable to find with whom in the Rand family he was traveling, but Margaret Arnoild Rand applied for a passport a few months before the photograph was taken so it is possible that they shared the First Cabin Stateroom indicated in this picture.

“Prince” was a horse that originally belonged to Nell (Carrroll) Thornton in Houlton, Maine. Prince apparently died while staying with the Carroll Family in Southwest Harbor. Archivists were surprised at the number of Carroll family photographs of or featuring the horse, each lovingly labeled with his name. This letter attests to the family’s attachment to Prince.

Photographer Henry L. Rand and his sister, Margaret Arnold Rand were enthusiastic nature lovers and amateur gardeners. Neighbors of the family home at 49 Kirkland Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts, remarked on their beautiful gardens on that property and Henry took several photographs of them. The Southwest Harbor Public Library Rand Collection contains several photographs of flower arrangements and this one of forced tulips in a pot, carefully labeled with the variety. “The Amateurs’ Prizes for forced bulbs went to Miss Margaret A. Rand of Cambridge, first and third, and Henry L. Rand of Jamaica Plain, second. The exhibits in this class showed more than ordinary skill in cultivation.” The requirements for entry were “Six pans, six inches in diameter, grown without the aid of a frame or greenhouse.” First prize was $10, Second Prize $8, and Third Prize $6. Miss Margaret A. Rand was on the Committee for Children’s Gardens. - “Transactions of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society” by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, 1909.
