A boy steers a horse-drawn plow across a field, while a typed page about farmworkers sits beside him, setting physical labor against written record. Before tractors became common on American farms, plowing like this was done by hand and animal power, and children often worked alongside adults in the fields. The pairing of a working child with a page of text invites the viewer to consider who did this labor and how it was described, and it sits interestingly beside the gallery's machinery images, showing the farm before mechanization changed it.
