This picture is titled "Ford Tractor" and dates to 1917, the year Henry Ford's Fordson tractor went into production, an affordable machine that helped move American farming from horses toward gasoline power. The caption comes from unverified data that arrived with the Harris & Ewing Collection, so the exact machine and location are not confirmed. Harris & Ewing was a Washington, D.C., studio, and its glass-plate negatives record much of the city's public life and the wider country's changing industry in the early twentieth century.
