AUGUST was by the English called Arn-monath or Barn-monath meaning harvest-month


AUGUST was by the English called Arn-monath or Barn-monath meaning harvest-month. The instruments which appear in the woodcut do not seem to differ much from those used at the present day. To the left appears a man sounding a horn with a spear in his right hand. Whether he is superintending the labourers or is one of a hunting party entering the field it is hard to decide. The sheaves are being lifted by a fork into a cart or wagon of tolerably good construction.
