The focal point of this image is a traditional milk cart, proudly standing as a testament to an era long gone by. With its rustic wooden frame and sturdy wheels, it exudes a sense of nostalgia that instantly transports us to simpler times. The milk roundswoman for W.

Her determined expression hints at the hard work and dedication required for such a role. Photographer Arthur William Jordan has skillfully captured this moment in time, showcasing not only the practicality of the cart but also its aesthetic appeal.
