I would not guess Acushnet as there were two major cities, New Bedford and Fall River between it and Providence and they each had photo studios going back to the Civil War.
Amherst would not even be a consideration at it is over 100 miles away in Central Mass. and there are several cities and towns in that area that had photographers - Northampton, Chicopee, Holyoke and Springfield

There was an Attleboro Angels minor league team that played for just one season in 1908.
