One Armed Man Hunting 1920s Real Photo Postcard
The scene portrays an exchange of farm produce—poultry and eggs—a fundamental aspect of domestic life in the early 20th century. The individuals' attire, particularly the woman's fur stole and the man's fedora, suggests a period roughly between the late 1910s and early 1920s, reflecting the common practices of provisioning households with essential foodstuffs.
During this era, chickens and eggs were vital staples of the diet, typically acquired directly from farms, local vendors, or through home production before the widespread industrialization of food supply chains. Such studio-staged photographs, while theatrical, visually documented and celebrated the tangible realities of sustenance and the close ties to agricultural production that characterized daily life for many.
