Title

Gardner Blacksmith shop

Description

Three men stand in front of an elongated gable-roofed barn. An awning-style roof extends over an open barn door with a wooden ramp leading into the building. To the left is a set of closed doors, and a dead sapling. Posters and printed material adorn the open doors of the middle section. A glass double pained window is above the awning, with a sign suspended perpendicular to the building. The right section of the building has a window-sized opening and then an empty doorway. The men stand on a boardwalk or planked road. The man on the left stands akimbo and wears a dark shirt with white stripes, long-sleeved, with a leather apron over dark pants, and a cap. The man in the middle has a mustache, and a dark shirt with a leather apron over dark pants and a cap. The third man stands with his hands behind him and wears a buttoned coat over dark pants and a fedora. Signs on the building advertise 'Sloan's Liniment' and 'Sensation [illegible].'
