- Title
- Cow in Haushalter Farm Lane
- Description
- This diminutive snapshot, measuring only 2.5 inches on its longest edge, offers a unique and playful window into the early years of the Haushalter farm in Water Valley. Likely captured in the late 1920s or early 1930s, the image possesses a characteristic "haze" and soft focus, typical of the consumer box cameras used by families during this era. While the photograph itself is an ambiguous view of a farm lane, the inscription on the reverse—"Our Lane -- That white object is a cow -- not me!"—provides a vital temporal and spatial anchor. The note, believed to be a reaction by a young June Haushalter, suggests she was present on the farm during this period, using the photographic ambiguity of the scene to share a moment of humor.
