Bell and horse-drawn wagon in front of a mission, Arizona or New Mexico, ca.1903
Photograph a bell and horse-drawn wagon in front of a mission, Arizona or New Mexico, ca.1903. The large bell sits on a short scaffold suspended from a mechanism allowing the bell to rock and ring. The driver of the wagon is turned toward the camera. A man stands in the darkened open doorway of the church. A cross is perched on a bell tower on the apex of the roof. The surrounding landscape is flat and fairly devoid of large vegetation. Snow [?] lays on the ground.
