Horse-drawn cultivators were among the most common implements on nineteenth-century American farms, and these engravings show the tool in the detail a catalog or trade journal would demand: its frame, its row of tines, and the way the operator guided it between crop rows. Cultivators loosened soil and cut weeds between plants, which made them a practical step up from hand hoeing for corn and cotton growers. The numbered plates also reflect how manufacturers and agricultural writers used illustration to compare designs, so the images are as much a record of mechanical experiment as of farm work.
