Rows of horse-drawn wagons and delivery trucks crowd a cobbled city street, the kind of scene that once defined market mornings in American towns. The record gives little detail about the exact location, so the picture is best read as a window onto how produce moved from farm to city before refrigerated freight and large distribution centers reshaped the trade. Cobbled streets like this one were common near older wholesale districts, where loading and unloading went on at the curb from early morning. Look closely at the tailgates and loads to see the crates and sacks that kept the markets supplied.
