Talcott williams(?), thomas anschutz(?), and j. Laurie wallace. Eakins may have used this platform to pose his models for swimming. "the scene with the three men on a platform may show the setting up of a pose – possibly for the reclining figure in the swimming hole. The clothed man in the middle, who is also in the boxing photograph, is probably thomas anshutz acting as an assistant in the posing of the models. The presence of the large platform in this outdoor spot is an indication that the arranging of poses was planned [by eakins]. " — garnett mccoy, "some recently discovered thomas eakins photographs," archives of american art journal vol. 12, no. 4 (1972), p. 15. Date: 1883.
