Wooden skiffs rest in glassy water beside a weathered dock at Harrietta Plantation — one of the last great rice plantations still working South Carolina's tidal lowcountry, photographed by the legendary Frances before the fields fell silent forever. The black-and-white linen-finish image captures the quiet melancholy of an industry in its twilight: flat-bottomed bateaux used by Gullah workers sit motionless beneath Spanish-moss-draped cypress, the flooded rice fields stretching to a hazy horizon. Harrietta, near McClellanville in Charleston County, was among the final commercial rice operations on the Atlantic coast, its elaborate system of dikes, trunks, and gates — engineered largely by enslaved laborers before the Civil War — still intact when this card was printed by the Advertising Service Agency of Charleston.
