It appears he either just crossed a bridge or perhaps it is a long brick walled estate of one of his clients. He is identified in pencil on a part of a cut period card that reads, Uncle Al Page, Herman Page\u2019s Uncle, Dorchester, Mass, Peddlers Cart. Al certainly has a large load and his business is definitely going well. We see large sacks of product stacked in layers on the top with a basket, brooms, buckets and possibly walking sticks on the back left side. Next to Al is a box or basket that appears to have some cans and we can see at least one feather duster. The poor small white horse pulling the wagon looks exhausted and there is still a long day to go! The image is in excellent condition with beautiful tones and contrast. It is about as perfect exposure as you will find in an outdoor ambrotype. It also retains its original brown cloth backing. It is housed in a lovely brown geometric union case that is in excellent condition too.   $200<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"870\" height=\"744\" src=\"https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/dwa77.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3635\" srcset=\"https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/dwa77.jpg 870w, https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/dwa77-300x257.jpg 300w, https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/dwa77-150x128.jpg 150w, https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/dwa77-768x657.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"604\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/dwa77a-604x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3636\" srcset=\"https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/dwa77a-604x1024.jpg 604w, https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/dwa77a-177x300.jpg 177w, https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/dwa77a-88x150.jpg 88w, https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/dwa77a.jpg 628w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peddler in a 10-Gallon Hat Killer ninth-plate outdoor ambrotype of a man sporting a \u201cten gallon\u201d style hat driving his large peddler\u2019s wagon down a long road.
