Lead with what sets this plate apart: it is a catalog-style page of numbered mowers, each machine labeled so a buyer or reader could match the drawing to a part number in the text. Plates like this one were common in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century manufacturers' and trade catalogues, where the aim was to show the full line of machines clearly enough to order from. The mower was among the most important implements on American farms of that era, since cutting hay quickly and cleanly determined how much livestock a farm could feed through the winter. Worth noticing is how the printed word "Mowers" anchors the page, turning a set of separate drawings into a single reference for farmers and dealers.
