DescriptionThree men, one wearing a beaked cap, stand in a dirt lane between two tobacco fields. The field on the right is entirely enclosed by tobacco netting. The netting on the left has been rolled up, revealing rows of tobacco plants. Canvas [?] containers line the lane and a vehicle, evidently horse-drawn, is in the background.
