About the Item

Wachsmuth around 1900, offers a captivating depiction of a cotton field.

The artwork portrays the intricacies of a cotton field, showcasing the growth stages of the cotton plants, their arrangement within the field, and possibly the surrounding landscape. The artist's attention to detail provides a vivid and informative representation, allowing students to observe the characteristics of a cotton crop. Wachsmuth's schoolplate likely intended to educate students about the cultivation and production of cotton, a vital aspect of agricultural knowledge during that period.
