Mill Boss?

Brought forward for the Vintage Photos Theme PArk theme of "A CLUTTERED OR UNTIDY OR ‘UNPROFESSIONAL’ BACKGROUND".

The miserable background landscape just has to have been taken in April - not a pretty time of year up here in Vermont. I mean I know it's not taken in a garden, but regardless of the surroundings, there's something about the ground here that cries out post mud season.
Glass plate negative found by the antique dealer in Bennington, Vermont. (and by me in Pittsford, Vermont).
