Past & Present: Harvesting (colour litho)
8668694 Past & Present: Harvesting (colour litho) by English School, (20th century); Private Collection; (add.info.: Harvesting. Reaping and Binding by Hand. Before the invention of the reaping machine scythes and sickles were the only implements used for reaping. The sickle is of remote origin, for the ancient Egyptians used toothed sickles of bronze and iron. Our picture is based upon an early 19th century drawing. A "Combine" Harvesting Machine. In some of the vast wheat-growing areas of California and Canada the weather conditions are reliable enough to allow crops to stand until ripe enough to be threshed immediately after reaping. Mammoth harvesting machines have been devised which cut, thresh and sack in a ten-hour working day 100 to 300 acres of wheat.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour lithograph titled "Past & Present: Harvesting" by the English School from the 20th century, showcases the evolution of harvesting techniques over time. The image depicts the traditional method of reaping and binding by hand before the invention of modern machinery such as the "Combine" Harvesting Machine.
In ancient times, tools like scythes and sickles were used for reaping crops, with bronze and iron sickles being utilized by civilizations like the Egyptians. Fast forward to the early 19th century, where this illustration is based on a drawing showing manual labor in agriculture.
The contrast between past practices and present innovations is strikingly portrayed in this artwork. Mammoth harvesting machines are depicted cutting, threshing, and sacking wheat fields efficiently within a ten-hour workday in regions like California and Canada.
This piece was originally part of a set of cigarette cards on Past & Present issued by Wills in 1929. It serves as a reminder of how far agricultural technology has come, reflecting on progress made in farming equipment throughout history. The intricate details captured in this print offer viewers a glimpse into the rich history of agriculture and its evolution over time.
