EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Husking, pub. 1861" takes us back in time to a rural setting where the essence of harvest season is beautifully captured. The vibrant colours of this lithograph by Eastman Johnson bring life to the scene, showcasing farm labourers engaged in the age-old tradition of husking corn. The image transports us into an old barn filled with golden cornstalks and bustling activity. Farmworkers, both young and old, are seen meticulously removing the husks from freshly harvested ears of corn. Their hands move swiftly as they skillfully plait the husks together, creating intricate patterns that reflect their expertise. Amidst this laborious task, children can be spotted eagerly participating alongside their parents or observing with wide-eyed curiosity. Their presence adds a touch of innocence and reminds us of how farming was often a family affair during those times. The composition exudes warmth and nostalgia while highlighting the importance of communal effort in agricultural practices. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly mundane tasks like husking corn were integral parts of daily life on farms. This remarkable piece from The Stapleton Collection allows us to appreciate not only the beauty found within everyday scenes but also offers insight into historical farming practices. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of our connection to nature's bounty and the timeless traditions that have shaped our past.
