Original 1947 AP Wire Photo dated June 6 showing severe flooding on a farm near Carlisle, Iowa. According to the caption, an unidentified farmer wades through knee-deep floodwater from the North River as he attempts to reach his white horse, while a small herd of livestock remains gathered near a shed. Heavy rains caused widespread flooding across southern Iowa. The caption is separate from the photograph, and both are mounted on the same piece of black archival paper. Measures approximately 8¼ x 7⅝ inches. From the archive of a Pittsburgh-area newspaper.
