Two women in a horse-drawn buggy, Auburn, CA, 1907

About this postcard

Two women sit side by side in an open horse-drawn buggy in a grassy clearing, a dark horse in harness facing right. Dense trees fill the background. The scene suggests a rural outing or errand. In 1907, horse-drawn buggies were still a common way to get around outside cities, even as automobiles began to appear. The note on the card is a chatty warning not to come to a meeting that night, mixed with personal news from Oregon.
