Strawberry pickers
Title
Strawberry pickers
Description
Black and white images of a young boy carrying wooden trays filled with strawberries on the edge of a field of strawberry plants. Museum records do not identify either the farm or its location, nor do they identify the boy, but the landscape is very typical of Washington County. This negative was part of the Herbert McMullen bequest. McMullen was a local photographer who, in addition to taking his own photographs, collected images that depicted daily life in the area.
