Pietro Pianalto Farm, ca. 1896-1900

The black-and-white image depicts several men gathered around a wooden barn, engaging in activities involving horses on a rural farm. In the foreground, one man is bent over, attending to a horse's hoof, possibly shoeing the animal. Another man, standing beside him, holds tools used for horse care. Two other individuals are situated near the barn's entrance, observing the scene, while two more men stand with their horses at the far end. The ground is littered with straw.
