Photo taken near the downtown square in Beardstown, Illinois. Two men and a dog are seen in a rowboat on a city street. One of the men is holding a fishing pole and the line appears taut, as if a fish is on the line. An ornament light can be seen on the right, holding signs that read "Drive to Right". A car is in the background with a team of horses next to it, both navigating the floodwaters. A row of commercial business buildings can be seen in the far background.
