| Index Words: | wagon, horses, harvest, fork, sickle, rake, workers, African-american, resting, play |
| Place: | United States |
| Notes: | Although the Corbis caption describes this as a hay harvest scene, the wheat-colored standing crop, the sickles being used to cut it, and the sheaves on the ground and in the cart, all indicate grain of some kind. Nevertheless the picture is too full of interest to omit. The great man dressed in a blacksuit, is talking to a white overseer holding a rake; most of the other workers are dark-skinned males; a young woman serves them drinks from a bucket; nearby a white child braids flowers into the hair of his female playmate.

| Citation: | Frankenstein, Alfred. William Sidney Mount. NY: Abrams, 1975, plate 18, p.132. |
| Index Words: | haycock, rake, scythe, fork, workers, resting, race |
| Place: | United States |
| Notes: | ^^^ Four men and a boy rest in a hayfield in the shade of a tree. One of the men, and African-American, lies asleep and utterly relaxed on a haycock, unperturbed by the small boy tickling his face with a stalk. A quarter of a century before the Civil War, the social relations are benign, even blissful. Yet Mount appears, in his letters, to be a supporter of slavery, a sentiment strangely at variance with his sympathetic portrayal of black people, to whom he was the first to give a place of dignity in American art. Frankenstein, p.201. |
