Description
Photograph of two men working a horse-drawn harvester in a bean field, [s.d.]. Rolled piles of crops stand in the soil on the left while rows of plants still stand on the right. A man in a lightly-colored shirt and hat balances on the wooden beams of the harvester while driving the three horses in front on the right. The two outer horses are dark while the center one is lightly-colored and all stand among the crops on the right. A second man, who stands on the left with a dark shirt and hat, follows the harvester with a pitchfork. Houses stand among trees along the base of the tree-spotted hillside in the background.
