A collection of early twentieth-century picture postcards and Keystone View Company stereoviews showing cotton production in the American South and Arizona. Scenes include fields being ploughed and chopped, wagons of cotton bales in town streets, gins, compresses, baling operations, storage yards and warehouses, in places such as Macon, Columbus, Kosciusko, Muskogee, Little Rock, Hugo, and New Orleans. The two stereoview cards carry educational captions on chopping out young cotton and on irrigated Egyptian cotton in Salt River Valley, Arizona.
