Nine numbered illustrations line up on a single page devoted to agricultural implements, and this one captures the lawn mower in the middle of that catalog-style arrangement. Mowers of this kind, pushed or pulled by a horse or hand, were a staple of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century farm equipment catalogs, where manufacturers showed each machine in clean line work so buyers could compare cutting bars, wheels, and gearing. Set beside its numbered neighbors, the picture reads as a snapshot of how farmers were shopping for labor-saving machines as mechanized haying spread across rural America.
