Just a few miles down the road from here. The land still looks much like this, but with more trees. It's odd to see such an old photo that (other than the horse and buggy) could've been taken yesterday on just about any rural road a few miles from here.

It's a shame there are JPG compression artifacts on these photos. And maybe some unsharp mask artifacts as well? Hey government worker, wake up.

Check the Persistent URL: hdl.loc.gov/loc.pnp/fsac.1a33874 for the link to the original LOC page for this. From there you can get the 42MB TIFF if you really feel the quality of this isn't up to snuff.

Thank you so much for engaging the Library of Congress in the new age of photo sharing. It is much appreciated by this citizen and I'm sure by many others. The LOC is one of the few stops in Washington I have yet to visit, and this gives me a window into what I've been missing. I can't wait to see the real thing next time I'm in DC.

There is no sense of motion in the photo. The cart appears to be stopped. Perhaps for photographic reasons?

Grrr, the cart is still, they aren't going anywhere.

The three are expecting something and waiting for HOPE to come to them.

Here they are on another outing in the same cart: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2179931268/

I would bet that the photographer was riding on the cart and got them to pull up so that he could get this shot.

There are four women and one man, who is just barely visible between the two women on the left.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called **I love Argentina** (Post 1 Award 3), and we'd love to have this added to the group!
