EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a staged reenactment of American farmers harvesting grain with cradles, while others gather it into bundles. The scene is set in 1929 for the filming of "Romance of the Reaper" a documentary produced by International Harvester to commemorate Cyrus Hall McCormick's groundbreaking invention of the horse-drawn reaper in 1831. The image showcases the hard work and dedication of these farmers during autumn, as they meticulously cut down each stalk with their cradles. Dressed in traditional farming attire, complete with wide-brimmed hats, these men epitomize the spirit of American agriculture. The landscape surrounding them is vast and picturesque, stretching out into farmland as far as the eye can see. It serves as a reminder of the importance that farming played in shaping America's history and economy. Although this photograph is a still from a film production, it exudes authenticity and realism. Every detail has been carefully crafted to transport viewers back to an era when manual labor was at its peak. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection, we are reminded not only of Cyrus Hall McCormick's significant contribution but also of all those hardworking individuals who dedicated their lives to tilling the land and ensuring food security for generations to come.
