THE HAYMAKERS MATTED PRINT

Limited edition giclée print of The Haymakers from The Jobs of Yesteryear Series. For as long as herbivorous animals have been domesticated, their caretakers have cultivated grain and grass to keep them fed when they're unable to access pasture. This fodder is collectively known as hay and the folks who make it used to be called haymakers. Hay is very sensitive to weather conditions, especially when it's harvested, which used to quite a back-breaking process. Hay must be cut, dried, raked, baled, and stored. This was traditionally all done manually using a variety of wonderful tools such as a scythe, hay rake, and pitchfork. By the 1930s, most hay production was mechanized and these manual tools were replaced by wondrous machines. The Jobs of Yesteryear are thought-provoking conversation pieces that will bring an air of history and whimsy to any room.
