Two Horses on the Quay - Port of Antwerp, Belgium (circa 1909): A captivating photograph of two strong horses standing calmly on the quayside of the Port of Antwerp, Belgium. The horses, adorned with intricately designed tack and bridles, are hitched to a cart, their heads turned towards the waterfront. The driver, dressed in a traditional coat and hat, stands nearby, seemingly in deep thought as he gazes out at the bustling harbor. The Port of Antwerp, located in the city of Anvers, Flanders, Belgium, was a significant center for transportation and trade during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The River Scheldt, which runs through the city, played a crucial role in the port's development, allowing large ships to dock and unload their cargo. In this photograph, the quay is bustling with activity, with people and carts moving to and fro, while ships can be seen in the background, their masts and sails silhouetted against the sky. The horses, despite the commotion around them, remain still, their powerful forms a testament to the importance of animal labor in the transportation industry of the time. This evocative image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when horses were the primary means of transporting goods around the bustling Port of Antwerp. The horses' calm demeanor, the driver's focused expression, and the hustle and bustle of the port all combine to create a striking and memorable scene.
