A quarter plate ambrotype of a bearded man seated in a light four-wheeled cart, pulled by a pale horse hitched and standing alert beside a wooden structure. The entire composition is tightly arranged and full of clean lines—vertical siding, angular shadows, the bold wheels of the cart, and the quiet presence of the horse anchoring the frame.

The driver, dressed in a long coat and military-style cap, sits with a calm dignity and presence. The bright sunlight throws a sharp triangle of shadow across the barn wall, adding dramatic geometry to the scene. The pale coat of the horse gleams against the darker backdrop, and the fine detail in the harness and wheels is crisp and clear.

A fantastic outdoor occupational image with outstanding composition, contrast, and depth—one of those rare ambrotypes that feels cinematic in its stillness.
