EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the late 19th century with this print titled 'Threshing in Cornwall. ' Taken around the 1880s or 1890s, it offers a glimpse into an era when agriculture was at its peak. The image showcases a remarkable scene of bustling activity as a powerful steam engine drives a threshing machine amidst the picturesque Cornish countryside. The focal point of the photograph is undoubtedly the impressive Marshall engine from Gainsborough, Lincolnshire. Its towering presence and robust design stand as a testament to British engineering prowess during that period. Surrounding this mechanical marvel are numerous individuals - men, women, and children alike - all united by their shared commitment to harvest and preserve precious crops. This snapshot not only captures an essential moment in agricultural history but also highlights the collaborative spirit within rural communities. Each person plays their part diligently, ensuring that no grain goes unthreshed. Their dedication is palpable through their focused expressions and coordinated efforts. As we admire this historical treasure preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum, let us reflect on the resilience and hard work exhibited by those who came before us. This evocative image serves as a reminder of our rich farming heritage while offering insight into how technology revolutionized traditional practices for greater efficiency. Join us on this journey back in time as we celebrate Cornish culture and pay homage to those who shaped our agricultural landscape.
