Shipping to the General Stores

Submitted by chriss on Wed, 11/14/2007 - 02:05.

Image of a procession of horses and carts stretching for three blocks up Queen Street in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. The image encompasses the street between Richmond Street almost to Fitzroy Street in the distance and was probably taken from the rooftop of the Prowse Brothers shop on the corner of Richmond and Queen. The low carts are loaded down with wooden crates of goods for the Prowse Brothers store. Image dated ca. 1890-1906.

This picture was taken in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. It was taken from a rooftop by one of the Prowse Brothers. The wagons were delivering goods to the general stores like cod, fruit and vegetables.
