An old prairie barn leaning into the trees, weathered but still standing against open sky and long grass.

A mounted photo print of a farm wagon with large wheels at the back and small at the front. The wagon faces to the left and is hitched to a single horse. 5 people sit on the wagon, 4 of them wearing hats. To the right of the picture is a small child on another farm horse. And in the back right is a haystack with a wooden ladder leaning on it.

A lovely junk shop find. It's got strong Mayor of Casterbridge vibes I think. Taken by commercial photographer W. Ames of Norwich. Maybe @themerl.bsky.social knows what kind of farm wagon this is and roughly when it would have been taken? First decade of the 20th C?
