The original title of the photograph was "Balance Rock on South Bubble" as the rock was known by that name when the photograph was taken in 1909 before the creation of Sieur de Monts National Monument, which later became Acadia National Park. The name was probably changed because of the confusion between it and the famous Balance Rock on the shore at Bar Harbor.
