EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to an unidentified location in Cornwall, probably during the early 1900s. The image showcases a crucial moment in the farming calendar - the threshing of corn. Positioned on the left side of the picture is a mighty Traction Engine, its power transmitted through a long belt from its flywheel to the threshing machine on the right. This remarkable machinery revolutionized traditional farming methods. In this snapshot of history, we witness five hardworking men diligently tending to and operating the intricate mechanisms of the threshing machine. Their expertise and teamwork ensure that every precious grain is separated from its husk efficiently. Meanwhile, four curious children observe from a safe distance under careful supervision by an older man, likely imparting his wisdom about this age-old practice. The composition beautifully captures both human labor and technological advancement intertwined with nature's bounty. The scene exudes an Edwardian charm as it encapsulates Cornish agricultural traditions during harvest season. It serves as a testament to our ancestors' dedication and resourcefulness in harnessing technology for greater productivity while preserving their connection with land and crops. Although we do not know who captured this extraordinary moment frozen in time, this photograph stands as a valuable historical artifact that transports us into Cornwall's rural past - reminding us of our roots and honoring those who shaped our agricultural heritage.
