Rows of parked automobiles stretch across an open field in this panoramic view, a scene that would have looked unusual on a working farm, where the land usually held crops, livestock and machinery rather than cars. Cars parked in fields like this often pointed to a gathering: a county fair, a farm sale, a rally or an event that drew more visitors than the roads and lots nearby could hold. Panoramic photographs of such scenes were popular in the early twentieth century, when photographers used wide-format cameras to capture every vehicle and spectator in one frame. Looking closely at the arrangement of the cars and the open ground can show how a rural site was temporarily turned into a parking area.
