1907 “The Tired Gleaners” — Supplement to The Chicago Tribune

Beautiful and heartwarming antique color lithograph titled "The Tired Gleaners," published as a Sunday supplement to The Chicago Tribune circa 1907 . The print depicts two young peasant girls resting after gathering sheaves of wheat, with others working in the sunlit field behind them. Their expressive faces and warm autumnal tones make this piece an excellent example of turn-of-the-century sentimental realism .
