Seven separate implements are drawn across one plate, each shown in its own outline, which makes this sheet unusual among farm-equipment pictures that usually focus on a single machine. The subject is the harvesting of hemp and flax, two fiber crops that were once grown widely on American and European farms and cut by hand or with specialized tools before mechanical reapers were adapted for them. Comparing the designs side by side shows how inventors tried to separate the stalks cleanly at the root, keep the fiber intact, and lay the cut crop in neat rows for retting and drying.
