This is a fine print reproduction of an antique diagram, titled "Tobacco—Hand Culture and Treatment," illustrates the traditional processes involved in cultivating and processing tobacco by hand, as featured in The Growth of Industrial Art by Benjamin Butterworth. The visual sequence, labeled 1 through 9, depicts each step of the tobacco production cycle, from planting and cultivating the fields to harvesting, curing, and preparing the leaves for market. These detailed illustrations provide insight into the labor-intensive methods used before mechanized agricultural techniques became widespread.
