DESCRIPTION:
Antique Real Photo Postcard (RPPC) dated January 1913, titled “Molasses Time in Dixie.”
The photograph shows women stirring molasses in large outdoor kettles, a traditional Southern rural food-processing activity associated with molasses or sorghum syrup making. The long wooden paddles, kettles, and setup are consistent with early 20th-century molasses production rather than firearms or shooting.
Printed on Devolite “Peerless” photographic postcard paper, dating the card to the early 1910s.
The caption and imagery strongly suggest the Southern United States (“Dixie”), though no specific location is identified.
An excellent and uncommon documentary image of early American rural life and food production.
