Description of Content
Two boys playing with a small two-wheeled home-made goat-drawn cart, made from a wooden fruit box or crate marked 'J.T. MORTON' on the side. The older boy is seated in the cart and is holding a switch and reins in his hands. The goat hitched to the cart is standing in front of a large tree stump. The younger boy is standing in front of the goat looking on. In the backgroung there appears to be a railway line and possibly a railway goods shed, suggesting that the photograph may have been taken in a railway station yard.
