Description
. But after a few uncomfortable, belated hours he safely reached his home and anxious family. This horizontal, sepia-toned photograph from approximately 1903 depicts a horse-drawn wagon carrying two people and various goods across a flat, barren landscape. On the left, a team of two dark-colored horses is hitched to the wagon, standing still on the light-colored, dusty ground. One man stands upright on the front of the wagon holding the reins, while a second man sits behind him amidst several boxes and sacks. The wagon has large, spoked wooden wheels. The background is a vast, empty plain that meets a pale, clear sky at a low horizon line. Below the photograph, a horizontal color calibration strip with colored squares and a grayscale step wedge is visible against the gray background of the mounting surface.
