Sort of a strange little photo making its way around the internet.. 

  • The painting is called Mr. Pynchon and the Settling of Springfield
  • Mr Pynchon was a successful fur trader who founded Springfield, Massachusetts..
  • The painting is from 1937..
  • Most historians say the mystery object is a mirror – used widely in the 17th century
