EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by William Davis Hassler in c. 1913, transports us back to a simpler time in rural Pennsylvania. The image captures an unidentified man diligently loading milk onto a horse-drawn cart parked over the railroad tracks outside the McCready farm. The scene exudes tranquility as the lush farmland stretches out behind the cart, creating a picturesque backdrop for this everyday agricultural activity. The horses stand patiently beside their trusty cart, ready to transport this precious cargo to its destination. The composition beautifully juxtaposes nature and industry, with the peaceful landscape contrasting against the imposing presence of the railway tracks. This snapshot offers a glimpse into how traditional farming methods intersected with modern transportation systems during that era. As we observe this moment frozen in time, we can almost hear the soft clinking of glass bottles and feel the coolness of fresh milk on our fingertips. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when life revolved around hard work and close connection with nature. Preserved by Bridgeman Images and now part of New-York Historical Society's collection, this remarkable photograph not only documents an anonymous farmer's daily routine but also encapsulates a significant period in American history where agriculture met progress on these very tracks.
