A man in a brimmed hat and spectacles stands with a live bird held against his body, the kind of everyday scene that once played out at countless rural and urban markets. Poultry was a staple of the farm economy, and sellers often carried birds by the legs or tucked under an arm so buyers could inspect them before a sale. Pictures like this one record a commercial exchange that was routine in its time but rarely documented with such direct attention to the person handling the goods.
