It was used by Ken Burns in his documentary based on Rucker's representation it was Cummings. I had extensive dealings with Burns's people at the time as they used a number of my images in their documentary. While I don't remember if I spoke to Burns himself or his executive producer about the "Cummings" tintype, I do remember quite vividly letting it be known that Mark Rucker might be the only person in the hobby who opines it is Cummings. The Hartford and Baltimore images were known at the time, and Burns really disappointed me by his use of that image.
