EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Polly in the Peanut Patch," dates back to the early 1900s, around 1905. The image, captured on a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, showcases a joyful African American woman named Polly as she takes a break from her labor-intensive work in the peanut patch. The setting is the fertile farmland of the United States, likely in the southern region where peanut farming was prevalent during that time. Polly's radiant smile and the vibrant colors of the peanut plants surrounding her convey a sense of pride and contentment. The image is a poignant representation of the African American experience during the early 20th century, highlighting the essential role of agricultural labor in the country's history. The Library of Congress houses this remarkable piece of heritage art, which is a testament to the resilience and determination of the people who worked the land. The image is a conceptual representation of the harvest season, with Polly standing amidst the ripe peanuts, ready for collection. The photograph is a powerful reminder of the rich cultural heritage and the diverse labor force that shaped America's agricultural landscape during the 1900s. The use of a dry plate negative process adds to the image's historical significance, as it was a popular photographic technique during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This rare and unique photograph is a valuable addition to any collection that celebrates the history of African Americans, agriculture, and the United States.
