Edward Beale McLean, a young man at the time, poses on a horse-drawn cart on the family's Clonmel estate in Colorado, a setting that shows how a wealthy Eastern family spent time on a western property. McLean was the son of John R. McLean, the publisher of the Washington Post and the Cincinnati Enquirer, and the estate reflects the leisure and rural pursuits of that circle in the early 1900s. The date is given as 1909 with a question mark, so the photograph is probably from around that time. Carts and horses like these were still the everyday means of hauling and getting around on large properties before motor vehicles became common.
