"Harvesting Corn" is an illustration from Volume II of the "Arts and Trades" section of the seminal work "Description of Egypt," which was published in 1822. This monumental publication was a result of the collaborative efforts of scholars, scientists, and artists who accompanied Napoleon Bonaparte's expedition to Egypt from 1798 to 1801. Nicolas Jacques Conte, a distinguished French painter, balloonist, army officer, and inventor, notably known for the invention of the modern pencil, was among the contributors to this comprehensive record of Egyptian civilization.

The "Description of Egypt" is a series of publications that provided a detailed account of the contemporary and ancient architecture, flora, fauna, and social practices of Egypt at the turn of the 19th century. The "Harvesting Corn" illustration is a depiction of the agricultural practices related to corn cultivation in Egypt, showcasing the methods and tools used by the local populace during the harvest season. The image serves as a historical document, offering insight into the agrarian lifestyle and the rural economy of Egypt during the early 19th century.

The "Arts and Trades" volume, where "Harvesting Corn" is featured, focuses on the various crafts, industries, and everyday activities of the Egyptian people. This volume is particularly valuable for its ethnographic significance, as it captures the essence of Egyptian society's working life during a period of significant cultural and political interaction with Europe.

As a part of the "Description of Egypt," the "Harvesting Corn" illustration contributes to the broader understanding of the cultural and historical context of Egypt during the Napoleonic era. The work is not only an important artistic artifact but also a piece of scientific and historical documentation, reflecting the early 19th-century European interest in the systematic study of other cultures and civilizations.
