February 1940. "Hired help resting after day's work in Upwey horse farm. South Woodstock, Vermont." Medium format acetate negative by Marion Post Wolcott. View full size.
Measure twice. Cut once.
I'm happy to see this place is still around.
Vermont is such a beautiful state.
Thank you much, Shorpy-ite Bill Ryan!
How wonderful that this (seeming) dynasty is alive and kicking!
And as a cherry on top, it is really lovely to know that the Suffolk Punch breed is alive and well and has its champions in Vermont!! It is a breed small in numbers these days, aficionados are worrying about remaining bio-diversity and the breed's future. Go Upwey, go Vermont!!
Snow up to the window sill! Yow!
I would say they may be snowed in.
The calendar painting on the left is by Hy Hintermeister, a prolific painter of idyllic America, mainly during the 1930's and 1940's. I remember seeing many of his paintings in elementary school as well as church Sunday School rooms of the 1970's.
"Hy" was actually a pseudonym for John Henry Hintermeister and his son, Henry Hintermeister, a father/son painting team.
This one is entitled "Adventure Bound".
Do they have two calendars on the wall because it will be 2 years before the window-sill-level snow melts in Vermont?
