Postcard by Eagle Post Card View Co., published by Fred R. Maring of Alexandria, Alabama. On the front is a photo of a cotton field, being picked by a group of black people, ranging from a young girl to the focus of the photo: an older black man in a drooping hat picking cotton right in front of the photographer. At the top of the photo is written "World's most famous cotton field scene", and "Alabama's Alexandria valley about 1890" at the bottom.
