Coupe, John, Dick & Charley, Chester, N. Y.: This monochrome photo postcard captures a rural scene in Chester, N.Y., featuring two men and a horse-drawn wagon loaded with boxes, possibly from the onion crop harvest. The wagon, drawn by two dark-colored horses, stands on Chester meadows with fields extending into the distance. One man, atop the wagon, is handling some of these boxes, while the other, standing beside an organized stack of crates, appears to be either loading them.
