A man in work clothes stands among stacked wooden barrels, the kind that were once the everyday containers for moving grain, salted goods, cider, and produce to market. Markets of this era relied on barrels for much of their trade, so the stacks themselves often tell as much as the person posed among them. Watch how the staves curve and how the hoops are fixed, since those details show the skill of the coopers who built them by hand. Pictures like this one help record the working rhythm of a farm town's market day, when goods arrived by wagon and the barrels were stacked high until buyers came.
