Its fascinating when you start looking into any historical time period (you wouldn't even need to go far back), before a lot of details are educated guesses. Since no one chose to record the mundane in detail or it failed to preserve over time.

Too add an example I know well.
I grew up on a small farm.
We have plenty of images of Christmas parties etc, but almost none showing actual work being done which is what I think my kids would appreciate the most.
Luckily YouTube for all its warts exist and I can look up the "motorized tea spoon", the U-9 Motostandard for them when I need to explain it: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=motostandard+u9...
(We had the one with front-mounted wagon and a stick for steering. And yes we had another slightly larger tractor as well, the AEBI Transporter TP50: )
