EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and nostalgic lithograph, titled "Haying-time, The First Load" takes us back to the American countryside in the 19th century. Published in 1868 by Currier & Ives, this colourful print captures a picturesque scene of haymaking on a rural farm. In the foreground, we see a hardworking family and their loyal dog engaged in gathering the first load of freshly cut hay. The father stands atop an oxcart filled with golden bundles, while his wife assists him from below. Their children eagerly lend a hand as well, showcasing the importance of communal effort during haying season. The surrounding landscape is lush and green, reflecting North America's bountiful agricultural heritage. A team of oxen patiently waits nearby, ready to pull the loaded wagon back to the barn for storage. This image beautifully illustrates both human labor and animal power working harmoniously together. "Haying-time" not only provides us with an insight into historical farming practices but also evokes feelings of warmth and nostalgia. It reminds us of simpler times when families relied on each other's support to sustain their livelihoods. Part of the Historica Graphica Collection, this illustration serves as a testament to Currier & Ives' commitment to preserving significant moments in American history through artistry and craftsmanship. Whether displayed in homes or educational institutions alike, this print transports viewers back to an era where hard work was essential for survival amidst nature's abundance.
