Title A Connemara Long Car
Description Photograph of wheeled vehicle drawn by four horses on a road. There are mountains and a lake in the background. A thatched cabin in poor repair is visible behind the Long Car, which is standing on a roadway. There is a stack of turf in the foreground. Two men wearing hats and overcoats are standing on the road way, one at the horses' heads and the second beside the long car. Another man, presumably the driver, is seated on the box holding the reins. There are at least four other passengers on the vehicle. The picture was taken on the Galway-Clifden road, close to the shores of Lough Shindillagh. The long car is travelling west towards Clifden. The mountain in the background is Lackavrea.
