EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the early 1900s, we are transported back in time to witness a significant moment in Cornwall's agricultural history. The image showcases a remarkable threshing machine powered by an impressive Burrell steam engine, expertly captured by the talented photographer T. H. Williams. Set against the picturesque backdrop of a Cornish farm, this snapshot encapsulates the essence of harvest season and the tireless efforts of hardworking farmers. A team of dedicated workers can be seen meticulously operating the intricate machinery, their faces etched with determination as they laboriously separate grain from straw. The imposing Burrell steam engine stands tall and proud, its powerful presence symbolizing progress and innovation in farming technology during that era. Its rhythmic chugging reverberates through the fields as it drives forward a complex threshing tackle and elevator system. This photograph not only documents an essential aspect of cornish agriculture but also serves as a testament to human resilience and ingenuity. It reminds us of our ancestors' unwavering commitment to providing sustenance for their communities amidst challenging circumstances. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's archives, this evocative image invites us to reflect on our rich farming heritage while appreciating how far we have come in modern-day agricultural practices. It is a poignant reminder that behind every meal lies countless hours of dedication and hard work put forth by those who till the land - an eternal tribute to our connection with nature's bountiful offerings.
