« Lumberjacks »

This print came from Oregon, so perhaps it is safe to say it is a lumbering scene in that region. All the women and children are turned out in their best, it seems. Are they family of the lumbermen? The children have found seats on a trunk, the women stand behind, one holding a puppy; the woman on the far left is not wielding an ax or standing on the tree as it at first appears; there are more horse teams in the far background. There is a bracket of some sort attached to one tree in the background.

It would have been interesting to see how trees were loaded onto that wagon; it must be much stronger than it looks. The brakes on the rear set of wheels are applied via the rope that extends from the driver to the upright pole (one little boy who posed for his picture is hidden behind it). If OSHA had been around at that time, the inspectors would have had apoplexy, died on the spot and taken the entire crew along with them straight to Hades!

This large print was in superb condition, only needing repair of a few minor scratches. The sun is directly overhead which makes for perfect light in a scene of this kind.
