The Baggage Cart 2004
|
|
The sculpture was a marvelous work of superb detail, right down to the bolt heads
holding the cross pieces together, and a "steel" strap down its center to support
the luggage.
|
|
Just outside the waiting area for the southbound trains, a sculpture of an old fashioned
luggage cart was on permanent display. Notice the design of the cart with its triangular-braced
wooden cross pieces.
|
|
The thoughtful visage of a young baggage handler was found just outside the
Caltrain station in Mountain View, California.
|
|
The baggage cart was parked to give the young boy sitting on it a view of the
plaza leading to Castro Street.
|
|
Fruit crates were stacked against the luggage. One was from the California Supply Company
of Mountain View, California, and the other from Day & Young, Santa Clara, California.
|
|
The attire of the young man began with long stockings under knee length pants capped with hight-top,
lace-up shoes.
|
|
Was the boy the baggage handler or was he a passenger sat atop the luggage to await the return
of his parents?
|
|
A bucket of what might be apples or pears sat on the front of the cart. The MV on its front stood
for Mountain View.
|
|
An identifying sign was embedded in the sidewalk just in front of the sculpture.
