DescriptionA street view of a residential neighborhood in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In the center of the image is a single-story adobe home with a cart pulled by two horses. A couple stands on the sidewalk behind the cart. The woman wears a princess-line outfit with plaid trim. She has a high-crowned hat on her head decorated with flowers. The man next to her wears a Homburg hat and has a large beard and mustache. He holds her left elbow in his right hand. Sitting on the front door stoop was another couple. An elderly man wears a bowler hat and suit, also with a large beard and mustache. Behind him is a woman sitting on a chair in a dark princess line outfit. Ivy crawls up the front of the house, which has a shingled hip-style roof. Houses surround the small home, on either side and behind. In the distance behind the homes are mountains on the horizon. To the left of the home, along a picket fence, are three young children and a woman. Emulsion flaking and deterioration is occurring on the glass plate causing visual distortion around the edges.
