EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage postcard print captures the essence of early 20th-century agricultural life in North America. Taken around 1911-1912, it showcases an elderly farmhand diligently carrying a basket overflowing with freshly picked cotton out of the fields. The image portrays the hard work and resilience of this senior adult as he navigates through the cropland, showcasing his strength and dedication to his occupation. The farm worker's weathered face tells a story of years spent under the sun, working tirelessly to harvest this valuable crop. His hands are calloused from countless hours spent picking cotton, while his worn cloth clothing serves as a testament to his humble lifestyle. This photograph is not just a portrait; it represents an era when African Americans played vital roles in American agriculture. It sheds light on their contributions as essential workers in the Southern United States during that time. Preserved by the Curt Teich Company, known for its high-quality lithographs and transfer prints, this postcard offers us a glimpse into history. Located at Lake County Museum today, it serves as a reminder of our nation's agricultural roots and honors those who worked tirelessly to cultivate our land. As we admire this poignant image, let us reflect on how far we have come while acknowledging those who paved the way for future generations.
