A lone farmer working a hoe in a Hopi cornfield anchors this view of subsistence agriculture in northeastern Arizona. Corn has long been central to Hopi life, grown in dry, sandy plots where moisture is scarce and planting depends on careful timing and patience. The Detroit Publishing Company, which issued large views of the American West for travelers and armchair readers around 1910, presented scenes like this as a glimpse of tradition, though the picture also records a working field and the labor behind it.
