Richmond, Virginia
(inherited from source) - Description:
- Card Text \(transcribed from postcard\): The music of a band and the 'meat' of a water-melon are irresistibly attractive to the average Virginia 'darky,' hence his predominance in this view. From the surrounding country-site the produce of truckers and hucksters is hauled to the city, usually in small two-wheel canvas covered carts, and the disposal thereof for sale, in the streets adjacent to the public markets, presents an interesting and characteristic scene. Note: African American; Beautiful and Historical Richmond, Va. Series No. 101; City/Location: Richmond (Va.)
