A fruit wagon piled with oranges sits beside sacks of potatoes, a pairing that tells you a good deal about how produce moved through an open-air market in its day. Such stalls were often stocked from whatever arrived by rail or wagon that week, so citrus from warmer growing regions could share a stand with staple root vegetables grown closer to home. Markets like this one were the main way many town families bought fresh food, and the loaded wagon was a familiar sight at the edge of the trading area. Look at how the sacks are stacked and how the fruit is heaped, since the arrangement reflects both the goods on offer and the hands-on labor of running a stall.
