No mention of the horse's legs , only his own and the cart
Like cars today, horses then were replaceable. Unlike in our caring society, horses although living were considered just as motive power but unlike an engine, if anything broke it often wasn't repairable. In this 1900 New York picture, boys play near a dead horse yet take no notice: it was the way things were.

It is the advertisement for condensed milk that would give me nightmares. Carnation with peaches ... the horror!!Like cars today, horses then were replaceable.

I was brought up on tinned fruit served with Carnation for Sunday tea. Always served with bread and real butter.It is the advertisement for condensed milk that would give me nightmares. Carnation with peaches ... the horror!!
Generally Sunday, for many, was a day to sleep in later than usual. Garden, maintenance or pub - whatever was your choice (or permitted ) - then a Sunday lunch (dinner for some) again at a later time than usual. Some some folk it was as late as 3pm. This. naturally, meant a light meal for supper (tea time) which generally consisted on tinned salmon or meat, often with cucumber (soaked in vinegar) and maybe beetroot. Lettuce was another item but usually seasonal. This would be followed by canned fruit with cream or tinned milk, or maybe jelly and ice cream. If the lady of the house had baked then cake was another additional item.I was brought up on tinned fruit served with Carnation for Sunday tea. Always served with bread and real butter.
