DescriptionA man and two children stand with a wooden buckboard wagon hitched to a two-horse team that is parked in front of a single-story adobe building in New Mexico. There is a wooden coyote fence in the background. The man and two children are standing and facing the camera. The children stand at the back of the wagon wearing large pants with suspenders, bucket hats with the brims turned upward, button-down collared shirts, and one of them wears a wool jacket over his long sleeve shirt. The adult male wears a wide brimmed hat, a wool lapel jacket with denim pants and has a dark thick beard.

Emulsion deterioration and a break in the glass plate is causing loss.
