EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in Jacksonville, Florida in 1902, showcases a scene of hard work and determination as Martin Ferguson and his team of horses and delivery wagons make their way down a bustling street. The horses, powerful and strong, pull the wagons filled with goods, while the deliverymen, dressed in work clothes and hats, load and unload packages with focused intensity. The background is filled with the hustle and bustle of the city, with people going about their daily business, adding to the vibrant energy of the scene. Martin Ferguson's Delivery Company, J.L. Nichols & Co., was a significant player in the transportation industry during the early 1900s. The company, which was based in Jacksonville, provided essential services to the community, delivering goods from various merchants and suppliers to businesses and homes. The horses and wagons were the backbone of the company's operations, and this photograph offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of the deliverymen and their animals. This photograph is an important piece of American history, highlighting the role of African American entrepreneurs and their contributions to the economy during the early 1900s. It is a testament to the resilience and hard work of the people of Jacksonville and the vital role that horse-drawn transportation played in the city's development. Today, this photograph is preserved in the Jean Blackwell Hutson Research and Reference Division of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, part of the New York Public Library, ensuring that future generations can learn from and be inspired by the rich history it represents.
