Légende

Harvest Operations - Carrying, 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 shows] fields shorn of their luxuriant crops, which are in course of being pitched by stalwart arms into attendant waggons, while persons on the waggon are loading. The teamster in this particular branch is generally a boy, who watches with sharp eyes the delivery of the last sheaf of the shock, for then comes the "Stand fast!" (the signal for those on the load to prepare for a move), and the horses, which well know the words, move on to the next shock [stook]'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
