Mr. Smith and his horse Bob stand in front of the Mary P. Willingham School in Georgia, a detail that sets this view apart from the other horse pictures on this board. The photograph was made by Reeves of Atlanta and belongs to the Wittemann Collection at the Library of Congress. The caption card records no date, but the cart-and-wagon subject tags point to a period when a horse was a working partner for rural families, used to haul goods, travel to town, and bring children to school. The image shows a plain, everyday scene of that rural Georgia life.
