This postcard depicts a well and bucket in a field. It has a watercolor-like appearance. It was published by F. A. Owen Co. of Dansville, NY. Frederick Augustus Owen was born near South Danville, NY in 1867 and educated at Rogersvile Seminary. In 1889, he started a correspondence school for teachers. In 1891, he began publishing Normal Instructor, a magazine to aid the students in his correspondence school.
