Back Ground Carries Crops Cuts Harvest Harvesting Scythe Sheaves Team Work 1936
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken in Germany in 1936, captures the essence of the harvest season with its timeless image of teamwork and dedication. In the foreground, a woman in a vibrant red dress cradles sheaves of ripe crops in her arms, her determined expression and the sweat on her brow testifying to the physical labor required. Behind her, a man in traditional farming attire wields a scythe, cutting down the last remnants of the field. The golden hues of the crops contrast sharply with the deep greens of the foliage, and the blue sky overhead adds a sense of tranquility and completion to the scene. Harvesting was a communal activity in rural Germany during this era, with families and neighbors coming together to reap the rewards of their hard work. The use of simple tools like the scythe and the sheaves, which were tied together in shocks, were essential to the process. The bountiful harvest was not only a source of food for the farmers and their communities, but also a symbol of their connection to the land and the natural cycle of the seasons. This photograph, from the Mary Evans Picture Library/WEIMA collection, is a poignant reminder of the rich agricultural heritage of Germany and the importance of community and hard work in the face of nature's bounty.
