Really enjoyed seeing this and other early planes, how adventurous and how far we have come!

this is an amazing find. I wonder what kind of exposure this was as there are so many people with sharp facial features visible. they clearly were not posing (as in holding very still) for any length of time like one would see in older photographs. some female faces do seem to have been "worked over" on the glass negative (or is this a positive?) though. look closely in the large version and you may be able to see what appear to be brushstrokes. I could be mistaken about this as I've only looked at it on flickr. What makes this picture special and rare is that it's showing Andrew Carnegie's full body in direct comparison to others. Carnegie was short and wore high hats and shoes to hide this. David Nasaw writes in his great Carnegie biography about how he would rarely allow to be shot standing and almost never standing next to others so as to not give a hint as to his lack of height. he doesn't seem to be bothered by this shot, making this all the more interesting to me. thank you for sharing, librarians of congress.

Old Andy must have forgotten to insert the lifts in his shoes on this occasion:

Haystacks with fences? Dairy farm?

My question exactly about those haystacks. Probably for beef cattle. Not sure why the fences around the stacks, as all the fields themselves seem to be fenced.

Oops! I see that there are several haystacks within one fenced field.

The fences were protecting the hay while the cattle grazed there. The hay was for winter time.
