Twelve numbered illustrations of horse rakes make up this plate, and the set is a useful record of how farm work looked before engines took over the hayfield. A horse rake was a wheeled implement pulled by a single horse or team, with a row of tines that gathered cut hay into windrows or heaps for later loading. Each numbered figure shows a different construction or detail, so the plate works as a catalog of design choices from the period. Such engravings were common in agricultural manuals and trade catalogs of the 19th century, when farmers compared machines before buying.
