Two draft horses lean into their collars as they haul a loaded wagon along a cornfield edge, the stalks standing dry and tall around them. Before tractors became common on American farms, teams like this one did most of the heavy work of planting, cultivating and carrying the harvest from field to crib or barn. The gallery's tractor and equipment section makes a useful comparison here, since the same jobs that once depended on animal muscle and steady harness work later shifted to gasoline engines over the first half of the twentieth century. Watch the wagon load and the set of the horses' shoulders for a sense of how much effort a single day in the field demanded.
