The image depicts a group of hardworking farm workers gathered together for a meeting under the night sky. Dressed in traditional smocks and Victorian attire, these men are engaged in deep conversation, their faces illuminated by the moonlight. The scene is not only an insight into rural life but also showcases the intersection between science and agriculture. In the background, we can see an engraving depicting our solar system, symbolizing mankind's growing fascination with astronomy during this era.
