Transporting tobacco through Navan at the turn of the Century
Transporting tobacco through Navan at the turn of the Century
The picture shows two horses and carts being led by two unidentified men on the Market Square in Navan, County Meath. The carts appear to be specially constructed wagons adapted for the job of transporting tobacco leaves. Frames, supported by poles, are raised around the outer edges of the carts. The leaves are hung on the frames allowing the circulation of air around them. Presumably the piling up of leaves on the cart would result in overheating thus damaging the quality of the tobacco.
