EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of threshing wheat in Illinois, USA, during the early 1900s. The vintage photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to a bygone era of rural America. A group of farmers, dressed in Victorian and Edwardian attire, work together to harvest the ripe wheat crop. The steam engine in the background, its chimney belching out smoke, powers the threshing machine that separates the grain from the stalks and husks. The farmers, their faces etched with determination and focus, work in unison to feed the wheat into the machine, ensuring every kernel is collected. The scene is set against a backdrop of rolling hills and open skies, the golden fields stretching as far as the eye can see. The sun casts long shadows over the landscape, adding to the sense of timelessness and tranquility. The farmers' lanterns, placed strategically around the site, provide a warm, inviting glow, illuminating the hard work and dedication required to bring in the harvest. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich agricultural history of Illinois and the United States as a whole. The simple yet powerful image of farmers working together to harvest their crops is a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of rural communities during this period. A true vintage treasure, this image is a must-have for anyone with an interest in history, agriculture, or the American way of life.
