Horse-Drawn Carriage

A horse-drawn carriage idles at the 19th-century San Francisco hotel entrance. The bellboy hefts a guest's suitcase into its storage compartment while the suitcase owner watches. The guest hands coins to the bellboy, steps inside through the open door, and settles as the bellboy shuts it firmly. Horses pull the carriage away down the street.
