That definately looks like a posed picture for sure. Don't know what the wagon weighed but I think the horse would struggle to move it far and going down any hill would be a nightmare.

The horse is been pulled back thats why it looks so big

Posed being an understatement Maximus! They ain't even packed out away before yokeing up. Wagon in major need of restoration new sheet a must wouldn 't like to be on the road in that. Its like a patch work quilt. Been stored away that. It does look an old pic mind. Wonder if it is about today. Keep em coming Darbo sorry for pulling that one to bits lol . atb.

How dare you pull the pic to bits redquill 1958 the pic was taken so it says. i would imagine quite a few of the pics are posed as you say.

Love these old pictures they would look great in frames in my man cave

Wasn't expecting to see the dogs in such good shape

Lovely, nostalgic images lads...and as an old man,.I love to see old pictures,..helps me remember.

 

As for posed images, well yes,..many of the Romany Rye type photos are staged for the camera,....even today,..you would be hard pushed to walk onto a Hatchintan and ask folk, to 'smile for the camera',...it could get, emotional...

 

However, same as most of the Poaching type manuals have rarely been penned, by genuine Poachers,...it just don't matter...Anything that produces an emotion or feeling of happiness,.can't be bad for ya...so keep the antique snaps coming,...I love em...
