Title

Man and boy on a tractor turning a field after harvest

Description

Sepia-toned image of man driving a two-wheeled tractor across a field. A young child in a knitted hat with a pom-pom on top waves from his lap. He appears to be plowing under the field; most of the field is turned earth, but for a small strip of dried straw just to the other side of where his plow is turning the earth. A harrow is chained behind the plow. Museum records do not identify a location for this image, which is part of the Herbert McMullen bequest. McMullen was a local photographer who also collected photographs and images from around the area.
