Two black and white images circa the 1800s are shown side-by-side. The left image shows three white women in a row boat. Two sit facing the bough, the third sits facing the stern with oars in hand. The right image shows two horse-drawn carriages parked in a wooded area. A white man and woman sit in one carriage. A white woman in a white dress stands off to the side facing their carriage.
