About this postcard

Two African American field workers stand beside a red wooden wagon in a cotton field, loading it with picked cotton. Large mounds of white cotton rest on the ground in the foreground, with a line of trees and blue sky behind. The scene reflects the hand labor that dominated the southern cotton harvest in the early 20th century, when picked cotton was hauled by wagon to be ginned and baled.
