A wide view of a market where the crowd is made up largely of motor trucks and horse-drawn carts, parked and idling in rows across an open lot. The mix of the two is the detail worth lingering on: it captures a moment when the horse was still common on American farms even as the motor truck was taking over the work of hauling produce to town. Farm markets of this kind were central gathering places, where growers sold directly to buyers and neighbors traded news along with goods. Look closely at the rows of vehicles and you can see how crowded the grounds became on a busy market day.
