Plough, Harrow and Feed-box, St. Valery

Miner Kilbourne Kellogg's technical drawing documents three agricultural implements used in 19th-century European farming. The composition arranges a wooden plough frame with curved tines, a box-style feed trough with hinged opening, and a wheeled harrow or cart in spatial relationship, rendered in watercolor and ink with careful attention to construction details and materials. Kellogg, a New York–born artist who spent significant time abroad, produced such agricultural and industrial studies throughout his career, contributing to the visual documentation of working tools and rural technology during the period before photographic standardization of such subjects.
