Description
Photograph of a garden scene at the Cawston Ostrich Farm, ca.1900. Several tall plants emerge from a stone, circular garden container on the left. The container stands in a cleared, sandy area surrounded by plants on the right and flowers in the foreground and on the left. The cleared area breaks into two paths that reach around an island of palm trees and a man in a suit stands in the path on the left with tall plants surrounding. The porch of a house-like structure can be seen in the background towards the right and the American flag that is posted on their roof stands at center.
