A Russell steam traction engine with bright yellow wheels is the detail that sets this picture apart from the usual farm scenes on the board. Russell & Company of Massillon, Ohio, built these engines in the late 1800s and early 1900s, and their machines were a common sight at threshing rigs and on farms across the Midwest. Steam power of this kind pulled plows and ran belts for threshing grain, work that transformed farm labor before gasoline tractors took over. The yellow wheels are worth a close look, since they were a distinctive feature of the Russell maker's livery.
