Charles Courtney Curran — The Farmyard, Haystacks and Hens · Postcard

Pitchfork slung over his shoulder, a young farmhand in a blue work shirt strides through a farmyard heaped with haystacks while hens and roosters scatter underfoot and a black-and-white calf leaps through the puddles beside him. Bare autumn trees stand behind the fence, and the scene carries the signature “Chas C. Curran” in the corner. Trading his gardens and beaches for honest farm labour, it's the one card in this group with real mud on its boots.
