Summary edit

Description
English:

Description: [Note: The description text is a verbatim transcription of the printed postcard text, and is a reflection of the historical time and place]. The music of a band and the 'meat' of a water-melon are irresistibly attractive to the average Virginia 'darky,' hence his predominance in this view. From the surrounding country-site the produce of truckers and hucksters is hauled to the city, usually in small two-wheel canvas covered carts, and the disposal thereof for sale, in the streets adjacent to the public markets, presents an interesting and characteristic scene.

Manufacturer: Southern Bargain House, Richmond, Va.
