Who Was Uncle Henry?

Horses that were put to good use on farms were a valuable asset to the business of agriculture even for years after time-saving machinery was available.  This postcard, with identifying Uncle Henry Elias and horse, written long after the actual photo was taken because of the kind of ink used, is the reason the horse's name is not known.  Even so, the horse was important enough to the family or Uncle Henry for this photograph to be taken. Who knows? Maybe the horse was for sale? 

Although we don't know more about Henry Elias other than his name, we can see from the picture that he had a mustache and overbite, and that perhaps the photo was taken in the early morning due to the foggy mist in the background--but more likely the light area is due to overexposure.  By using editing the features of Uncle Henry and the horse can be enhanced to see the detail better.
