A roadside scene at Stony Creek, a small rural community in southern Virginia, sets this picture apart from the Niagara Falls views the photographer is better known for. Dated to about 1886 and registered for copyright, it records wagons and carts, modest dwellings, and African American residents going about country life in the decades after Reconstruction. George Barker's Niagara Falls firm sold views of many regions to travelers and collectors across the country. Images like this one preserve the everyday labor and domestic settings that formal studio portraits of the period rarely captured.
