EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and nostalgic 19th-century lithograph, titled "Haying-time-The Last Load" captures the essence of American agricultural life. Published in 1868 by Currier & Ives, this colourful print showcases a picturesque scene filled with hardworking farmers and playful children. In the foreground, we see a group of farmers diligently loading hay onto a cart pulled by sturdy oxen. The golden hay bales create a striking contrast against the lush green fields and clear blue sky. A young boy stands proudly on top of the loaded cart, holding his pitchfork high as if celebrating their successful harvest. On the footbridge nearby, two children eagerly watch the laborious process unfold. A girl with rosy cheeks leans over to get a closer look while her loyal dog patiently waits beside her. This idyllic countryside setting is completed by a peaceful stream flowing beneath the bridge. The artist's attention to detail brings this historical moment to life; you can almost feel the warmth of summer radiating from this charming scene. This lithograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an important documentation of North America's farming heritage. As part of Heritage Images' Historica Graphica Collection, this print offers viewers an opportunity to step back in time and appreciate the beauty found in everyday rural life during haying season. It reminds us of our connection to nature and highlights the hard work that went into sustaining communities through agriculture in 19th-century America.
