On Location in "Romance of the Reaper"
A production still for the Fox Hearst film "Romance of the Reaper." The film was produced by International Harvester at Walnut Grove to celebrate the Reaper Centennial. The cast is gathered in a field for a filmed re-creation of the first reaper test. The actors are arranged to mimic an 1883 advertising lithograph of the reaper test. Del McDermid, in the role of Cyrus McCormick, stands in the foreground holding a hat in his hands, while other men operate a replica reaper in the background. |
