Carting the stone


This is a delightful painting which somebody put on Twitter.  Forget who the artist was -- but apparently it dates from 1894, and shows a large slab of quarried stone being carried to somewhere where it will be used.  

Splendid horses and harnesses, splendid cart with extremely sturdy wheels, and an excellent roadway.     Nice gentle terrain too.  Around 5,000 years earlier, things might have been a tad more difficult......
