A rustic well

Girls -- Florida
Boys -- Florida

A black girl is pulling on a rope of a well looking at a black boy standing next to her. The well is covered in wooden planks. There's a pail next to the boy. A ladder stands on the left and a box sits on a cast iron table in the center. Brush and trees grow in the background. The caption on the photograph reads: "Did you ever see a well that had as high a roof as this from which the children are getting water?"

Johnson, Clifton, 1865-1940
