Harvesting Grain, Landisville, Pennsylvania
A Vintage Photos Theme Park photo for the theme of fields (cornfields, football fields, academic fields, or any other kind).
Handwritten note on the other side: "Landisville, Pa. Nissley Rd."
An early twentieth-century scene of men harvesting grain in a field near Landisville, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. A reaper pulled by four horses is cutting the grain, and sheaves of cut wheat that have already been stacked into shocks are visible in the background.
This is an divided-back real photo postcard with a type of Azo stamp box (featuring four upward-pointing corner triangles) that suggests that the photo may date to sometime between 1907 and 1918. The card is unused with no message, address, or postmark on the other side.

I’ve never heard of the word “shocks” before to describe haystacks. Is that a Pennsylvanian usage or an “out of New England” expression?
Alan, have a good week and thank you for posting the August (and every month's) VPTP themes! You are very appreciated!
