Few details survive about this particular plate beyond its title, a printed heading above a set of numbered illustrations of bean and clover harvesters. Its gallery placement under farm equipment points to the period when horse-drawn and early mechanical implements were being sold through trade catalogs and agricultural journals, which used numbered drawings so buyers could match a machine to its name in the accompanying text. Harvesters for beans and clover were specialized tools, since both crops required cutting or pulling at ground level and separating the seed or blossom from the stalk. Looking closely at the numbering and the heading, you can see how manufacturers presented a range of machines side by side for comparison.
