Ice Blocks, Hot Day, and Kids - a Photo

"Licking Blocks of Ice on Hot Day"
theleafpress / Flckr (June 10, 2008)



My guess is that this photo was taken in America or another English-speaking country, probably around the early 20th century. We don't use blocks of ice for refrigeration much, any more, but ice houses, trucks, and deliveries, were an important part of the economy and culture not all that long ago.

The photo comes in several sizes.
