Description
A black-and-white, square-format photograph shows a child and a burro standing in a flat, outdoor landscape. The child, wearing a light-colored, long-sleeved dress and a wide-brimmed hat, stands on the right side of the burro and faces the camera. The burro is positioned centrally in profile, facing right, and is attached to a wooden cart or harness structure that extends toward the left edge of the frame. The ground is light and sandy, with a few small, dark rocks or tufts of vegetation scattered in the foreground and a faint horizon line in the distance. The original photograph is mounted on a larger grey rectangular card, and a color calibration strip and a ruler are visible at the very bottom edge of the digitized frame. The text "Margaret Miller and 'He-Haw'. Hitched up and standing as was his custom." appears in white above the image within the digital interface.
