In this real photo postcard, a man and woman sit in a carriage decorated with flags on the wheels and top. Perhaps they're waiting to join a parade for the Fourth of July or some other patriotic occasion.
Note, too, the two children who are looking on in the background. And nailed to the tree just behind the horses is a "Ladies Only" sign.
