Tall-tale Postcard: Will It Go In (with Vegetables)
| Photomontage of two men standing over an open cellar door, attempting to push a giant root vegetable into it. Two women with brooms are holding a baby by the side of the door, watching intently. A number of giant onions, potatoes, and turnips create the foreground of the image. The words, "Will It Go In," are inscribed right above the heads of the two women. |
