[New York: Harper & Brothers, January 1854] 1 print: wood engraving; image 17 x 12 cm. (6.5 x 4.75 in) Illustration in Harper's New Monthly Magazine, vol. 8, no. 46 (March 1854), p. 459. Engraving is one of several accompanying T.B. Thorpe's article "Cotton and its Cultivation." Set in a gin-house, it shows two plantation hands working at a cotton gin. While a man pushes cotton out of the "packing-room" (a loft space) and down a chute, a woman uses a rake-like tool to guide it through the gin. Standing nearby, a woman with a bucket on her head watches the process, and a man peeks into the gin-house through an open window. Two large baskets used for carrying cotton can be seen in the left foreground. Fels Afro-Americana Image Project, Work Scenes.
