| Description: |
A
line of plows drawn by mule teams going into the distance, are apparently
plowing a stubble field. In the foreground, Ed Nybakken is seated
on a two-bottom plow drawn by four mules. His hand is in the air,
touching the brim of his hat, and blocking his face. Behind him
seated in a two-wheel buggy with a dog beside him, is field boss
Elihu Barber. Behind Barber is foreman Sam White. He is standing
in a buggy hitched to two horses, and is looking away from the camera.
This view was used on the 2-cent U.S. commemorative postage stamp,
entitled "Farming in the West," for the Trans-Mississippi Exposition
in Omaha, Nebraska, in 1898. |
