Taking hay to market

Title

Taking hay to market

Description

Black and white image of two men with a wagon loaded with hay. Drawn by a four-horse team, the wagon is stacked with bundled hay. The street is unpaved, but has concrete sidewalks and curbs on both sides, and the houses and brick fence on the left look relatively modern. A note on the back indicates that the hay could be flax, instead.
