Lanterns or sodium lamps glow over stacked barrels and a parked delivery truck, the kind of after-hours scene that marked a produce market at the close of the working day. Markets like this one ran on early and late schedules, with growers hauling in crates before dawn and wholesale buyers loading trucks as the sun went down. The lit doorways and open loading areas show how much of the trade happened in the dark, when shipments had to be moved before spoilage set in. Look closely at the barrels and crates, which were the standard containers for moving produce from farm to market in this period.
