The horse seems particularly handsome, too. The whole ensemble speaks to me of pride - well-founded - and of care for each other.

P.S. I always wondered, what did those square eye-guard things next to the horse's eyes do, protect the eye, or help keep the horse from getting startled or distracted?

The latter.
"... help keep the horse from getting startled or distracted", from: planes, trains, and automobiles,(and people).
Trolleys were pulled by horses before they were electrified, and/or motorized.

That place seems very dangerous for a man to work. I can't even imagine any safety gear/wear being helpful against getting crushed or losing limbs, for example. Where could a guy even stand and not get his block knocked off. I'll bet it smelled good, though.

Most jobs then were dangerous unless you were sitting at a desk.

Maybe......but probably better than most of NJ

I can't put it off any longer.

Rufus?
What the heck are you, actually your avatar, now and what is/are it/you doing?

New Jersey had a large tax increase to help fund clean up. It worked. No one is left to pollute it. The only odor now is car exhaust from people leaving.

An indecisive blob unable to maintain spherical form due to stressful stimuli.......in other words, average.

[MurphOnMillerAve]

Oh. I thought it was pollution.

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Oh. I thought it was pollution.

Only in NJ.

It occurred to me it was a blob of crude oil, vacillating between solid and liquid.

Rufus,
No way! You aren't indecisive or average.
