A stereoview depicting Bolton Farm, near Ipswich, Suffolk, showing a thatched-roofed farm building with brick and weatherboard walls enclosed by a post-and-rail wooden fence. In the foreground, felled tree trunks and cut branches lie scattered across bare, worked ground, with an indistinct dark form beside the timber that may represent resting livestock or a bundle of cut brush. The composition, with its rural outbuildings and farmyard debris, is characteristic of English agricultural genre views produced for the stereo card trade.
