This image is a black-and-white negative photograph, showing a scene with horses and carriages gathered around a drinking fountain. The horses are harnessed to carriages and appear to be drinking from the fountain in the center of the image. The background is blurred but includes large barn-like structures and a cart or wagon with text on its side. The ground is uneven and seems to consist of dirt or gravel. At the bottom of the image, handwritten text reads "Drinking Fountain, Brattle St" along with the date "May 4, '10," indicating that this image was taken in 1910. The negative processing creates a high-contrast, inverted look to the photograph.

The image is a black and white photograph negative depicting a scene with horses at a drinking fountain. There are several horses harnessed to a wagon or carriage, standing and drinking from a large basin or trough in the center of the image. Their outlines are clear, with the harnesses and wagon parts also visible. In the background, there is a building with prominent windows and a distinctive roof shape. Trees or foliage are faintly visible beyond the building. The photograph has markings at the bottom, which appear to be some sort of notation or date, reading "Drinking Fountain, Brattle St" and possibly a date "May 4 '10" along with the number "4653." The entire image has an inverted appearance due to being a negative, so what would normally appear dark looks light and vice versa.

This is a historical black and white photograph from 1911 showing a horse drinking fountain in Brattle Street. The image shows horses drinking from what appears to be a cylindrical water fountain or trough. The horses are wearing harnesses and appear to be work horses, likely used for transportation or labor in the early 20th century. The image has a somewhat ghostly or ethereal quality due to the long exposure time typical of early photography, which has created a blurred effect around the moving horses. In the background, you can see some buildings and structures typical of the early 1900s architecture. The photo is labeled with "Drinking Fountain, Brattle St." and appears to be dated "May 1911."

The horses are harnessed to the wagon and are facing to the right of the image. The wagon appears to be empty, and the horses are standing on a dirt road or ground.

In the background, there is a building with a sloping roof, which could be a barn or a stable. There are also some trees and bushes visible in the distance.

The image is likely a historical photograph, possibly taken by a photographer who was documenting rural life or agricultural activities. The presence of the metal pipe in the foreground adds an element of interest to the image, as it may have been used for a specific purpose, such as watering the horses or providing a source of drinking water.

Overall, the image provides a glimpse into the lives of people living in rural areas during a bygone era, and the photograph itself is a valuable historical artifact that can provide insights into the past.
