Légende

Harvest Operations - Gleaning, 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 is rich in Scriptural associations. A pleasant spectacle it is to watch the operations of the gleaners - women and children nimbly moving about in all directions, trying to outvie one another as to who shall take home the greatest amount of corn, which is gathered ear by ear. In some fields may be seen - though the practice is not usual - reapers, carters, and gleaners at work at the same time'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
