EDITORS COMMENTS
Hay-Drying on Racks, Norway (circa 1910s) This evocative photograph captures a scene of rural life in Norway during the early 1900s. The image showcases a group of women engaged in the traditional process of hay-drying on racks. The women, dressed in simple yet warm clothing, are seen raking hay and carefully arranging it on the frames, which are suspended above the ground. The frames, made of wooden racks and woven with reeds or straw, are a common sight in Norwegian farmlands during the summer months. The hay-drying process is an essential part of Norwegian agriculture, as it ensures the preservation of hay for the long winter months. The hay is first cut and then spread out to dry in the sun. Once it is dry enough, it is raked and turned regularly to ensure even drying. The frames provide an elevated and well-ventilated surface for the hay to dry, protecting it from the damp ground and allowing the moisture to evaporate. The women in the photograph work together, their faces expressing a sense of focus and determination as they complete this labor-intensive task. The scene is idyllic, with the rolling hills and lush green fields stretching out in the background. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the rich cultural heritage and the close-knit rural communities of Norway during the early 1900s.
