Harvest Operations - Gleaning, 1858. Creator: Unknown
Harvest Operations - Gleaning, 1858. One of our Artists, fresh from the cornfields, has forwarded to us the accompanying Illustrations of gathering in the harvest. Nothing can present a more beautiful sight than the golden fields at this period of the year; and those who have left the great metropolis on visits to their country cousins must indeed be gratified with the sights around them...Our Sketch is rich in Scriptural associations. A pleasant spectacle it is to watch the operations of the gleaners - women and children nimbly moving about in all directions, trying to outvie one another as to who shall take home the greatest amount of corn, which is gathered ear by ear. In some fields may be seen - though the practice is not usual - reapers, carters, and gleaners at work at the same time'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858

Harvest Operations - Gleaning, 1858
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative and captivating image of rural life in the 19th century, as depicted in this engraving from the "Illustrated London News." The scene showcases the beauty and bounty of the harvest season, with golden fields stretching out before us, dotted with hardworking men, women, and children. The image is rich in Scriptural associations, with the gleaners depicted as they move nimbly through the fields, trying to outdo one another in their efforts to gather the greatest amount of corn. In some fields, reapers, carters, and gleaners can be seen working side by side, a practice not common at the time. The image is a testament to the communal spirit of rural life, where everyone pitched in to ensure a successful harvest. The women and children, dressed in their simple clothing, are a stark contrast to the bustling city life, and their labor is essential to the success of the harvest. The engraving is a beautiful representation of the countryside, with the wheatfields providing a backdrop to the hardworking farmhands. The image is a reminder of the seasonal rhythms of rural life, with the summer harvest being a time of celebration and abundance. The "Harvest Operations - Gleaning, 1858" image is a valuable addition to any collection of historical or agricultural art, and its black and white composition adds to its timeless appeal. The image is a testament to the enduring beauty of rural life and the importance of hard work and community in the face of nature's bounty.
