Légende

Husking Bee, Island of Nantucket, 1876. Dozens of figures in a brown field filled with discarded corn silks form two rows and sit across from each other husking corn, a farm in the background. A woman holds a red ear of corn, which, according to folk tradition, would allow her to kiss the person of her choice.
