Steam Tractor with Sod-breaking Plows

Image

Two men are posing standing on a steam tractor on the right, probably a Linnell, attached to sod-breaking plows steered by two men on the left. Behind them are standing two women, one holding an infant. In the center background are a man and boy posing sitting in a wagon pulled by a team of two horses. In the far background are tree-covered hills.
