Harvest Operations - Stacking, 1858. Creator: Unknown
Harvest Operations - Stacking, 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...The stack-yard...presents quite a busy scene, for, as the empty waggons leave the stack, others well laden stand in readiness to take their places'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858

Harvest Operations - Stacking, 1858
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative and captivating image from the past, showcasing the beauty and bustle of the agricultural scene during the harvest season. This photograph, taken from an engraving published in the "Illustrated London News" in 1858, offers a glimpse into rural life during the 19th century. The golden fields, ripe with crops, present a stunning sight, and those who have ventured from the city to visit their country relatives would have been delighted by the scenes around them. The stack-yard, in particular, is a hive of activity. Empty wagons leave the stack, making way for others, which stand ready to take their place. Agricultural workers, dressed in their simple attire, toil away, assisted by strong and sturdy draft horses. The horses, with their powerful muscles and determined expressions, seem to embody the strength and resilience of the rural workforce. The image is a testament to the hard work and dedication required to bring in the harvest. The farmhands, both men and women, work in unison to ensure that the crops are gathered and stacked efficiently. The haystacks, which serve as temporary storage for the harvested crops, add to the picturesque scene. The horses, too, play a crucial role in the process, pulling carts laden with crops to the stack-yard. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the rich agricultural heritage of Britain and the hardworking people who made it possible. The image, though black and white, is full of colour, with the golden fields, the green foliage, and the brown and white of the horses and wagons. The scene is timeless, and one can almost hear the sounds of the farmyard and the clatter of the horses' hooves. A truly stunning and evocative image from the past.
