Strawberry field

Title

Strawberry field

Description

Black and white image of two women in nice dresses and shoes in a strawberry field. They hold wooden crates for picking berries, but do not appear to be attired appropriately for field work. The field stretches into the distance, where farms and houses can be seen scattered across the valley beyond. Museum records do not identify either the farm or its location, nor do they identify these women, but the landscape is very typical of Washington County. This photo was part of the Herbert McMullen bequest. McMullen was a local photographer who, in addition to taking his own photographs, collected images that depicted daily life in the area.
