Velada, Spain, 1982 Photograph by James P. Blair A farmer in Velada,
Spain, displays a traditional toboggan-like device that is used to
crush straw and open garbanzo bean pods during harvest. This area, near
Toledo, was made famous by the works of El Greco, who journeyed to the
region in 1577.

(Photo shot on assignment for, but not published in, "The Genius of El
Greco," June 1982, National Geographic magazine)    RELATED
