Original real photo postcard (RPPC) showing a classic early 20th-century horse-drawn wagon scene. Two men pose proudly with their team and wagon—one seated on the wagon bench holding the reins, the other standing alongside with one foot on the wheel. The wagon appears loaded with sacks, likely potatoes or farm goods, a reminder of the vital role wagons played in hauling produce from farms to market before the widespread adoption of trucks.The men are dressed in typical working attire of the period—vests, ties, bowler-style hats and caps—giving the scene both a practical and dignified character. The background shows a residential neighborhood with sidewalks, fences, and large frame houses, likely taken in a small American town.Printed on AZO postcard stock with four triangles pointing up in the stamp box, this card can be dated to about 1904–1918.Details:Format: Real Photo Postcard (RPPC)Paper: AZO (four triangles up, c. 1904–1918)Subject: Two men with horse-drawn wagon, likely hauling potatoes or farm produceView: Residential street, frame houses, wooden sidewalks, utility polesCondition: Light edge wear, faint soiling on reverse; unmailed and unused; overall very good for ageHistorical Notes:This image captures an important slice of American agricultural history.
