Title
Horses harvesting cornfield  
Description
A team of horses stands at the end of a row of harvested corn and the rest of the unharvested field is on the left. Two horses stand opposite on the other side of a fence.  
Interpretation
Before combines came into use, a team of oxen or horses was used to harvest corn, still on the ear. Later, it was removed from the ear via the combine.
