EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, hailing from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the early 1900s in North Dakota, USA. The image showcases a scene of threshing wheat, a crucial step in the farming process that separates the grain from the stalks and husks. The rural landscape is dotted with the golden hue of ripe wheat fields, stretching as far as the eye can see. In the foreground, a dedicated farmer stands by a steam-powered threshing machine, his lantern in hand, illuminating the area as the day comes to an end. The machine, a testament to the industrial revolution's impact on agriculture, belches out plumes of smoke, contrasting the serene, picturesque setting. The Victorian and Edwardian eras, characterized by their ornate designs and intricate details, are reflected in the farmer's attire. His sturdy work boots, high-waisted trousers, and long-sleeved shirt are typical of the time, while his worn hat and calloused hands speak of long hours spent working the land. The threshing process was a communal affair, with farmers from neighboring farms coming together to help each other during harvest season. This camaraderie and shared experience are evident in the photograph, as the farmer exudes a sense of pride and satisfaction, knowing that the hard work will soon yield a bountiful harvest. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich agricultural history of North Dakota and the United States, a time when farming was an integral part of daily life and the rhythm of the seasons dictated the pace of existence.
