The International Exhibition: Burgess and Key's grain-mower, 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition: Burgess and Key's grain-mower, 1862. Although [Messrs. Burgess and Key's] magnificent display of medals, earned on many hard-fought fields, has been carried off to the melting- pot by burglars the machines are now too well known in this and other countries to render the loss as important as it is irreparable. As some three thousand of them are now employed in laying low the golden crops of the United Kingdom, most of our readers must be acquainted with them, and but little description is needed to make the accompanying Engraving comprehensible'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Burgess and Key's grain-mower, a pioneering agricultural machine exhibited at the International Exhibition of 1862 in London. The machines, which earned their creators numerous medals in various competitions, were famously stolen before the exhibition closed, leaving behind only this image as a testament to their innovation. Despite the loss of the physical machines, their impact on agriculture and mechanization was significant, with thousands of them in use across the United Kingdom and beyond. The International Exhibition of 1862, also known as the Great London Exposition, was a cultural event showcasing the latest advancements in various industries, including agriculture. Burgess and Key's grain-mower, with its impressive design and efficiency, drew much attention and admiration from visitors. The mower, which revolutionized the way crops were harvested, was a symbol of the industrial revolution and the progress made in agriculture during the nineteenth century. This engraving, published in the Illustrated London News, offers a glimpse into the past, providing a valuable record of the machines that shaped the agricultural landscape of the time. The intricate details of the mower's design are captured in the engraving, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and engineering that went into creating these remarkable machines. The image serves as a reminder of the role of agricultural machinery in the development of industry and the impact it had on farming practices during the Victorian era.
